Coral Watch Survey

What you’ll do

Become a citizen scientist! Our Coral Watch surveys start with a group briefing before we split into buddy teams and snorkel along one of our beautiful reefs, collecting data on the corals along the way. Then we regroup and submit the data online.

  • Contribute to science while exploring the beautiful Maldivian reefs.
  • Learn how to collect data, how to submit it and how it is used.
  • Gain the knowledge needed to undertake your own coral watch surveys anywhere in the world.
