MORE INFORMATION

• What You'll Learn

  • During the classroom session you’ll discover:

    • The history and mission of Reef Check
    • How coral reef ecosystems function
    • The importance of indicator fish, invertebrates and substrate
    • How reef health is monitored around the world
    • How citizen scientists contribute to conservation
• Why Pemuteran?

  Pemuteran has become an international example of successful marine conservation. Once affected by destructive fishing practices, its reefs have recovered thanks to years of community-led conservation, coral restoration projects, and sustainable tourism.

  The calm conditions, healthy reefs, and incredible marine biodiversity make it the perfect outdoor classroom for learning reef ecology and conservation techniques.

• Practical Training

  Before entering the water you’ll practice:

  • Reef Check survey techniques
  • Transect deployment
  • Underwater communication
