The Bocas del Toro archipelago in Panamá is one of the Caribbean’s biodiversity hotspots, with extensive coral reef, mangrove, and seagrass systems that support a rich diversity of reef fish and invertebrate life. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, coral disease, pollution, overfishing and coastal development, creating an urgent need for long-term monitoring and conservation action.
As a member of the 2027 SCUBA/coral reef marine volunteer Panamá EcoExpeditions, you’ll assist with surveying and studying Boca del Toro’s coral reefs and associated marine life. Reef data collection will follow the Reef Check protocol, with data collected during the expedition contributing to ongoing local conservation initiatives aimed at informing management decisions and supporting the protection of Bocas del Toro’s marine ecosystems. The expedition includes training as a Reef Check EcoDiver.
