Reef Check is a global organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of coral reefs and kelp forests. Through their citizen scientist volunteer programs, they collect valuable data to improve the management of these ecosystems, creating sustainable solutions for their protection. With over 20 years of global reef health data, Reef Check works in partnership with community volunteers, government agencies, businesses, universities, and other nonprofits to create a sustainable future through education, research, and conservation.
Reef Check's Coral Reef Program trains divers to survey the health and status of coral reefs using a globally standardized scientific protocol, spanning 102 countries and territories. Their Kelp Forest Program engages local citizen scientist divers to monitor the health of kelp forests along the West Coast of North America, supporting science-based management and marine conservation. Additionally, their Dive into Science Program aims to provide under-resourced and tribal communities with opportunities for careers in conservation or college education in natural sciences or marine biology. Through their initiatives, Reef Check empowers people to save reefs and oceans worldwide.
