volunteer

There are often a variety of volunteer opportunities, both formal and informal, that allow people interested in becoming involved to help. Some may be local to where you live, some may require travel at the volunteer's expense, but the experience may be priceless.

Follow us on Facebook to see what projects may be upcoming or ongoing or contact us to see if we can assist with matching your interests and skills to a project in need.

There are several basic areas where volunteers can help:

• Assist in building Reef Balls
Typically working with setting up molds and pouring concrete.
Suitable for most anyone with normal physical aptitude that does not mind getting concrete up to your elbow.
A Typical Project

• Assist in deploying Reef Balls
Usually working as a diver from a boat or from shore and volunteers near deployment areas willing to provide boats are often needed.
A Typical Project

• Assist in coral rescue, transplanting, propagation, or reef restoration work
Working near shore and underwater working with advanced reef restoration techniques. Often requires certified divers, though many projects occur in snorkel depth.
Volunteers might include professionals or students of marine biology, ocean engineering or other related technical fields of study though frequently they are merely interested and passionate individuals with the drive and ability to learn and implement the techniques needed to perform this specialized work.
After successful completion of your first coral project volunteers will be qualified to join the Reef Ball Coral Propagation and Rescue team to which priority may be given on projects demanding more experience. Regardless, the project manager may request specific information on your knowledge, diving certifications, experience, etc.
