tHERE ARE MANY WAYS YOU CAN GIVE A HELPING HAND
INDIVIDUALSIf you are a diver already, you can train as an EcoDiver and help with reef surveys around the Maldives. Or you can help with NGO administration and organising community-based surveys. The most committed can also be trained as Trainers so that you can train other people and help to create a snowballing system of community involvement. Finally, you can donate your time and/or money to help our efforts.

GROUPS & NGOsConservation initiatives work best when they are done in collaboration. If your (community) group or NGO wants to become involved, for example by organising reef surveys in your community, let's discuss how this can happen. And of course NGOs or other funders can also help by donating staff time or funds to our efforts in Maldives reef conservation.

businessesIf you are a business with a CSR programme or a funder with an interest in marine conservation, we would very much like to hear from you. If you are a resort, we can help you become a Reef Check Centre or survey your house reef regularly, involving your staff and guests in the process. Or we can enter into a partnership to train more Maldivians, thereby building capacity and enhancing education.

Becoming an EcoDiver
If you have a dive qualification already, we can train you as an EcoDiver. Once qualified, you can take part in surveys, not just in the Maldives, but anywhere in the Indo-Pacific. There is a cost to the training programme and teaching materials, but depending on grants and other partnerships, we may have external funding to pay for this. Please get in touch for more information.

Annual coral reef survey
Together with our partner Biosphere Expeditions, we conduct one or more week-long surveys of Maldives reef each year. This expedition takes place on a beautiful live-aboard yacht and there are groups for qualified EcoDivers and groups where training and qualification is part of the experience. For more information on these expeditions, please see the Biosphere Expeditions website.
