Did you hear? @NiceNewsHQ wrote a beautiful article sharing findings on the incredible role that the global diving community has to play in marine conservation. And guess what? Reef Check has already been setting that trend of positive impact for years!
This comes from a new review paper out of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and here`s how we`re leading the movement:
🤝 Community engagement: We`ve been building partnerships and alliances internationally, uniting the diving community to champion ocean health.
📡 Technological innovation: Embracing cutting-edge tech like our Coastal Canary devices for measuring and sharing ocean data.
💰 Investment in sustainability: Reef Check actively seeks private and public funding to support critical initiatives around the globe.
🌏 Diversity and inclusion: We`re fostering a sense of community by training and supporting local leaders, prioritizing participation from Indigenous communities and youth. Together, we`re ensuring everyone has a voice in marine conservation.

BTS of our community program Dive Into Science, where students got first-hand experience seeing how a Marine Protected Area can protect habitat and diversity.
“Being in Catalina and having the opportunity to dive is something I’ll forever be grateful for. I was able to dance with the kelp, kiss fish, live the beautiful island life, face my apprehension to the ocean and most importantly recreate with folks who come from the same community that I do. We normally aren’t here doing this sport. After this experience, I am a more confident diver!” ~ Carol Martinez, Los Angeles cohort.
Training new ocean stewards from all backgrounds is essential for supporting the health of oceans and building a sustainable future.
