  Coordinators and Teams  
 

Reef Check Headquarters is located on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California.

The responsibility for Reef Check is divided among several National and Regional Coordination Centers. If you are located in the vicinity of our National or Regional Coordinators, please contact them regarding training, fundraising, site selection and other details. Then please register directly with us here at Reef Check Headquarters using our Registration Form. All new teams are required to be certified Reef Check EcoDivers.

We welcome people with diverse skills to participate in Reef Check. If you think that you can help, then please contact your nearest coordinator. If no coordinators are located near you, then contact us.

The following list of coordinators is updated monthly. Please note that while every effort is made to keep this list up-to-date, coordinators do move and don't always notify us of their departure. You can contact us at rcinfo@reefcheck.org if you have any questions.
