3. Help us spread the word about coral reef conservation
No matter who you are, you can help coral reefs by sharing your passion and knowledge with others who may be unaware of how important and threatened they are.

Are you an educator, a student, or a concerned citizen?
You'll find a wealth of information about coral reefs and coral reef conservation in our resources section.

Are you a diver?
Informed divers can be key messengers for coral reef conservation. The more you know about threats to coral reefs and sustainable diving practices, the better prepared you will be to spread the conservation message to other divers, tourists, and tour operators.

Are you a dive instructor or marine tourism operator?
Dive instructors and tour operators are critical frontline conservationists, since you have the opportunity to teach people about sustainable marine recreation. You can help out by making sure that all of your clients know how to dive and snorkel responsibly.

4. Make coral-friendly decisions in your everyday life
You don't need to live near coral reefs to have an impact on them. The choices you make every day—including your fossil fuel and product consumption—impact coral reefs around the world.
