“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.”⁠

Thank you, @bilaesperanca_ for sharing your story and photos!⁠

This year’s World Ocean Day theme was Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate, and it couldn’t align more perfectly with our mission.⁠
⁠
As we celebrate 20 years of Reef Check’s kelp forest impact, we’re honoring all of the divers, scientists, and supporters who have turned passion into measurable action. ⁠
⁠
We know the health of our ocean is inseparable from the health of our climate, and that real change starts underwater, powered by people like you.⁠
⁠
This year, we’re doubling down:⁠
🌱 Expanding restoration sites⁠
🌎 Building global partnerships⁠
🤝 Training more community scientists⁠
📊 Collecting data that drives policy⁠
⁠
Here’s to 20 years of action, and many more to come.⁠
