Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea, an incredible biodiversity reservoir.
They provide food for 100 million coastal peoples, are a major attraction for millions of tourists, protect coastli nes and are a source of new medicines. With your help, we can save the reefs. We train teams of volunteer scuba divers and snorklers in over 50 countries to monitor the health of coral reefs by performing Reef Check surveys . The survey results are used to produce an annual report on the state of the world's reefs. Our global network of teams educates the public about the value of coral reefs, threats to their health and solutions to these problems.
