Did you ever dream of becoming a marine biologist? The Reef Check EcoDiver program combines EDUCATION with ACTION to give scuba diver volunteers a unique experience while taking an active role in conserving the world’s reefs. The EcoDiver program allows participants the rare opportunity to work with teams of scientists around the globe to combat the crises affecting our reefs today. Because the world’s reefs are changing fast, it is up to us to ensure that reefs are around for future generations.

Using its globally standardized scientific protocol, the Reef Check EcoDiver program collects valuable data to establish the status of coral reefs worldwide. The data are analyzed and used locally by marine park managers, nationally by fisheries and environment managers, and internationally by organizations, including United Nations agencies, to help better track and care for coral reefs.

The Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the most remote, nearshore reef systems in the world. This leads to a large percentage of our marine organisms living only here. Sharks, rays, humpback whales and others can often be seen in our waters. If you are curious about the amazing marine critters here in Hawaii, check out our Marine Life Page.
