Ecotourism Costa Rica

Make your dives count for coral reefs. Join us and help us monitor the Costa Rica Caribbean Coral Reefs. You will be part of a global effort to protect reefs from drastic decline.

Why? New research indicates that more than half of the world’s coral reefs could die in less than 25 years. Human activities and climate change have contributed to the loss of 30 percent of the worlds reefs to date; another 30 percent are severely damaged.

Locally, the reef sites are damaged by silt from nearby rivers that carry agricultural byproducts.

How can divers help? Crocodive Caribe in partnership with Project AWARE and CoralWatch is bringing this simple, noninvasive coral reef monitoring method to divers who are passionate enough to make a difference.

CoralWatch monitoring charts have a series of colors representing different coral bleaching and recovery stages. Volunteer divers match the color of the coral with the color on the chart and track this information over time.
