Citizen Scientists Wanted

Collecting and mapping observational information is essential for conservation and scientific research. When we can see how coral responds to warming water, disease, pollution, or other stressors, we're better able to determine impactful solutions. 

That's why we need your help. We have a lot of (sea) ground to cover. Maybe you're a diver or a snorkeler. Maybe you fell in love with coral and the many other species they support, like sea turtles. Maybe you're  interested in technology, like our interactive mapping systems. Whatever your reason, your observations could be critical.

Every time you're in the water taking pictures, making videos, or just observing and writing down your recollections the old-fashioned way, share it with us. What you notice and document could be helpful to any number of scientists. More importantly, it could be helpful to coral and the myriad of  life that coral touches.

By helping with our map-making, you'll be making history, recording the details of a moment that could be used to save our reefs' and our oceans' futures.
