Reef Watch is a unique and exciting program where recreational divers gather data about the health of the oceans. Diver involvement develops community awareness about the state of marine ecosystems and trigger actions for their protection.
Reef Watch aims to gather and disseminate quality information on the status of our marine environment. They do this with the input of many of South Australia's top marine scientists and educators along with help of hundreds of volunteers. The Reef Watch training program provides recreational scuba divers with the necessary skills to gather valuable information about the marine environment, which contributes to a growing body of information being used for the better management of human impacts. This information is used by Reef Watch to increase community awareness of marine environmental issues and is also available to government bodies and research institutions and schools. |
