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 Coral Reef Conservation Specialty course helps you appreciate the complexity of these habitats and teaches you how you can help conserve these vital systems using micro-fragmentation. This has been the method of choice to propagate branching corals for many years. Originally widespread in the aquarium hobby to produce and trade live Pacific corals, this method has also proven successful in restoring damaged reefs.
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.
You'll learn:
-
How coral reefs function and the complex nature of life on a reef.
-
Differences between Tropical and Temperate Reefs.
-
Coral bleaching and how to prevent it.
-
How corals eat and reproduce.
-
Practice micro fragmentation on REAL CORALS.
-
How you can volunteer to make a difference.
