Reef Check Australia is a pioneering charity that champions reef citizen science since 2001. Our focus is to educate and empower volunteers to comprehend, appreciate, and safeguard oceans and marine ecosystems. Through citizen science, we engage volunteers to collect and share reef health data, conduct local conservation projects, and connect people with accurate reef science.

Our work is vital as reefs are under threat, but with proper management, protection, and community involvement, we can ensure resilient reefs in the future. Founded by Dr. Gregor Hodgson in 1996, and Jos Hill in 2001, we have expanded our monitoring activities from the Great Barrier Reef to South-East Queensland and Western Australia.

Coral reefs are crucial for life, supporting diverse ecosystems and providing food sources, tourism opportunities, and cultural significance. Join us in the movement to protect and preserve these invaluable ecosystems for future generations
