We won Best Documentary Short Film at the Carmel International Film Festival!
We are proud to be part of collaborative efforts that bring the stories of our ecosystems to a wider audience. Thank you to our friends at @seatrees @sunflowerstarlab @p.u.r.p_707 and, of course, the talented filmmaker @alecwalshvisuals for bringing this piece to life.
And of course, a huge thanks to everyone who has watched the film! If you want to check it out, the link is in our profile.

We live for science✨
Our volunteers on the West Coast of North America are some of the toughest divers we know. They go out into the cold ocean to collect invaluable data for conservation efforts.
Plus, they are some of the most knowledgeable divers we know!
If you’re a trained Reef Check diver, there is still time to join us this season. Sign up for survey days at your volunteer portal. If you’re inspired to take action, check out the prerequisites on our website and get on the waitlist for training next year!

Protect what’s still alive, restore what we’ve lost.
The foundation of all conservation work is science. We need baselines for reef health and to understand how they are changing to make the case for preservation and restoration.
We have coral programs running in many places, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Panama, and Hawai’i. Want to see all locations? Head to our website to find a Reef Check team near you!
It’s the last day of Coral Bleaching Awareness Month. Life is better in color @coral_org
