Course Objectives:
• Gain a deep understanding of coral reef ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and the impacts of human activities on reef health.
• Acquire practical skills in ecological monitoring techniques, including photogrammetry, benthic surveys, and data analysis.
• Engage in independent research, formulating research questions, and designing methodologies for data collection.
• Develop proficiency in data analysis, interpreting research findings, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
• Enhance scientific communication skills by writing and presenting a research manuscript / presentation.
Includes:
- Atleast 40 dives with dive gear included
- Conservation Diver Advanced Ecological Monitoring Certification
- PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Certification
- Continued support with data collection, grant writing, publication, fundraising etc.
