Help global marine research by collecting and labelling coral reef data and get paid!

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth, providing habitat and shelter for numerous marine species. However, coral reefs are facing a global crisis due to climate change, pollution, and overfishing. It is estimated that 75% of coral reefs worldwide are currently under threat, and this number is expected to increase in the coming years. The decline of coral reefs has a significant impact on the ocean's health, which in turn affects our planet's wellbeing.

The decline of coral reefs has been a growing concern for many years. One of the main challenges in addressing this issue is the lack of comprehensive data on coral reef health. Traditional methods of data collection, such as scuba diving and manual surveys, are time-consuming, costly, and limited in scope. With over 100,000 km2 of coral reef worldwide, it is difficult to collect sufficient data using these methods.

The Solution

Automated coral reef processing technology has emerged as a promising solution to this problem. These technologies can collect large amounts of data on coral reefs in a short amount of time, using cameras, sensors, and other equipment. Automated coral reef processing technology can also provide accurate and consistent data, allowing for better monitoring and management of coral reefs.
By participating in our coral reef data collection project, you will not only contribute to our understanding of coral reef health and biodiversity, but also have the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and work with a passionate team of researchers and volunteers.

Methods and Objectives

Join us in 2023

This project is a project very close to our hearts at Reef Support. It isn’t only about helping coastal communities in their effort to monitor and restore the reefs but also about fostering wide-spread marine knowledge!

If like us you are fond of our oceans and want to save these beautiful creatures which are so important to our ecosystem, we would like to give you the opportunity to adopt your own coral spider. And what is even cooler is that they will tag your name personally on it and give you a monthly report of its coral growth! Visit the page below to find out more on how to participate.
