Project Aware

Everyone likes to scuba dive or snorkel in warm, clear water on a vibrant coral reef, yet many people know little about what they’re seeing or the importance of reef ecosystems. The AWARE - Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course helps you appreciate the complexity of these habitats and teaches you how you can help conserve these vital systems.

 

Requirements:

Anyone who has an interest in the aquatic world can take this course. There are no prerequisites or age restrictions and no water sessions are required to earn this non-diving certification.

 

Through classroom discussions, you learn:

• How coral reefs function and the complex nature of life on a reef.

• Why coral reefs are so important.

• Why many coral reefs are in serious trouble.

• What you can do to prevent further decline.

• How Project AWARE unites divers and water enthusiasts to make a difference.
