Ocean Life - Reef Check: global citizen science tracking ocean health
Ocean Life · 0:41
Headquartered in California, Reef Check is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to conserving tropical coral reefs and temperate kelp forests. Serving as the official coral reef monitoring program for the United Nations, the initiative operates across more than eighty countries, including Australia, Japan, and Germany. Rather than relying solely on government scientists, Reef Check trains volunteer scuba diver teams to survey local marine habitats, gathering standardized environmental data to track the health and recovery of vulnerable underwater ecosystems.
