A total of 9,209 crown-of-thorns starfish have been removed from the waters off Semporna and Kunak so far this year thanks to community involvement. Although it was mostly a local effort within Malaysia, one volunteer joined from China, proving that caring for the ocean isn’t restricted by borders. ⁠
⁠
Because crown-of-thorns starfish devastate coral, these eradication efforts will protect the reefs, marine biodiversity, fisheries, and the region’s tourism industry.⁠

We’re out here doing it all season!⁠
⁠
But we need your help to keep our mission going. One of the best (and easiest) ways to support reef data collection is to see if your employer will match your donations. ⁠
⁠
Search the database on our website of more than 20,000 companies to see if your employer has a matching-gift program. Set up automatic donations and make an even bigger impact with your support.⁠
⁠
If your employer doesn’t offer matching, you can propose that they join the program. ⁠

Did you know there is restoration work happening on the Oregon Coast? ⁠
⁠
We are running the last urchin culling restoration dives of the season with our volunteers next month. ⁠
⁠
In the fall, we’ll switch gears for survey dives, gathering data on the local reefs. ⁠
⁠
You can only join if you’ve gone through Reef Check training. If you’re not already a volunteer, check out the prerequisites and make plans to join us for a course in the future!⁠
