“Being part of Reef Check has changed my point of view.”⁠
⁠
Stories like these inspire our staff and keep our mission moving forward!⁠
⁠
“My name is Esperança Bila, I’m from Mozambique 🇲🇿 ⁠
⁠
We did the Reef Check in Ponta de Ouro.⁠
⁠
My experience at Reef Check was incredible because diving is a passion. During the training, I acquired the scientific knowledge and methodologies that served as a focus on building questions and answers that should be investigated using reproducible methods.⁠
⁠
Being part of Reef Check has changed my point of view. The tools I learned for monitoring specific areas showed that over time, it is possible to know what is happening to the ocean. I learned about the dynamics of death in reef environments due to global warming and how pollutant emissions into the sea have affected communities of organisms in the most diverse habitats.”⁠
