Reef Check EcoDiver and Snorkeler Service Project

Help save the Dominican Republic’s coral reefs and ocean ecosystem. Students will be based in Juan Dolio and work with Reef Check Foundation. Founded in 1996 by marine biologist Dr. Gregor Hodgson, Reef Check Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of tropical coral reefs and temperate kelp forests. The Reef Check EcoDiver and Snorkeler course involves both classroom study and field work accomplished through snorkeling. During the three days of the project, students will learn how to collect data from the reefs that will be studied to monitor their continued health.
