Why are coral reefs so important?
Besides providing us divers, and snorkelers, something amazing to look at while we are in the water? Coral reefs are important because they help protect our coastlines from waves and tropical storm damage. Also, they assist in carbon and nitrogen fixing. Most importantly, coral reefs provide habitats and shelter for all those little sea creatures we love to see. This is why we feel the AWARE Coral Reef Conservation course is essential. Conservation is crucial not only to our ocean experiences, but to the health of our planet.
What your conservation class will teach you
The Coral Reef Conservation course explains how coral reefs function. We’ll talk about life on the reef and all of its complexities. Then, we’ll discuss why so many of our precious reefs are in trouble and what has been causing all the issues we hear about and see. Finally, we’ll cover how you can help in preventing the further decline of these fascinating ecosystems.
If conservation is your thing, and who doesn’t like preserving the things we love, then the information gleaned from this course will go well with the PADI Fish Identification course. Knowing about the reefs and the fish species populations that inhabit them will give us a different perspective on the places we visit and what we can do to assist in the conservation.
Who can take Coral Reef Conservation?
The Project AWARE Coral Reef Conservation class is for everyone who loves the ocean, and our planet. You don’t even have to be certified to attend the course and learn more about coral reefs. Whether you are a diver or a snorkeler or, future diver and snorkeler, you will walk away with a new perspective of our reef systems. This is a perfect educational experience to bring your little ones with you. Allowing them to understand what we see when we go in the water. And, it will show them what they have to look forward to when they are old enough. Moreover, it gives them a head start with a wealth of information on how they can preserve our reefs when their travels begin.
So bring the whole family and let's see what we can do about preserving our coral reefs!
