Reef Check is a global organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of coral reefs and kelp forests. Through their extensive network of trained citizen scientist volunteers, they collect valuable data on the health and status of these ecosystems, which is used to inform sustainable management practices. With programs spanning over 100 countries and territories, Reef Check fosters partnerships among various stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, universities, and nonprofits, to create ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions for reef conservation.
Reef Check's initiatives include the Coral Reef Program, which focuses on surveying and monitoring the health of coral reefs worldwide, the Kelp Forest Program, which engages local citizen scientists in monitoring the health of kelp forests along the West Coast of North America, and the Dive into Science Program, which provides educational opportunities for youth and young adults from under-resourced communities to pursue careers in conservation or natural sciences. With over 20 years of global reef health data and thousands of surveys completed, Reef Check is committed to empowering individuals and communities to protect and preserve our reefs and oceans for a sustainable future.
