Volunteers will be introduced to coral reefs through a presentation covering what corals are, how they grow, and the conditions they need to survive. You’ll then learn how to identify different coral types and take part in CoralWatch surveys — a citizen science programme that uses coral colour as an indicator of reef health.

During surveys, volunteers record coral colour data and submit it to the CoralWatch database, helping track changes in reef health over time and contributing to broader monitoring efforts around Mabul.
