Reef Check / Education Program
Educational Marine Biological Adventures with Reef Check – EMBARC – is our interactive marine education program that gives underserved middle and high school students a chance to become marine biologists for the day and experience the ocean environment first hand. During a 3-hour boat expedition, students gain awareness about the value of ocean resources, the threats to these resources, and the solutions they can be a part of. The curriculum for the EMBARC program was designed and developed using Next Generation Science Standards for middle and high school students.
Through this program, we hope to open the students’ eyes to the wonders of the ocean world, and our ultimate goal is to create a new generation of young ocean ambassadors, who will start making environmentally conscious changes in their own lives and inspire others in their schools and families to do the same. Presenting these students with ways in which they can reduce their carbon footprint, can help them to make a personal connection with the ocean and give them a greater desire to protect our marine environment and species for future generations to come.

Our dedicated Reef Check California team has been hard at work on kelp forest monitoring and restoration. See the results from August 2023, and stay tuned for updates from the California Fish & Game Commission on the future of urchin barren management.

Our ecosystems would collapse. See what the team at @reefcheckmalaysia has done to bring Tioman Island coral cover to OVER 60% (which is well over the national average).

Thank you to everyone who adopted a Coastal Canary!
These oceanographic sensors track temperature changes at key sites along the Pacific coast, and must regularly get changed out. That means, if you didn`t get the chance to adopt one and track where it has been planted, not to worry! You can be a part of this program in the future.

We need your help!
Reef Check just launched a huge campaign to support our Kelp Forest Restoration and Monitoring project, and we need your help to get the word out.
Share our campaign page with your friends, and if you’re able, donate a few dollars to the cause.
Our kelp forests appreciate you!
