Are you interested in Coral Reef Conservation? Want to know how you can help?

The AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course is designed to increase your awareness about the plight of the Worlds Coral Reefs, with the Great Barrier Reef right here in our back yard.

With an awareness comes an understanding of how we can help to protect this natural wonder, with our activities on land and also whenever we visit the Great Barrier Reef. The more people who participate in the AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course, the more voices we have to help protect it now and for the future.

The AWARE Coral Reef Conservation Specialty Course goals:

Describes how Coral Reefs function and why they are so important

Reviews why many Reefs are in serious trouble and what we can do to prevent further decline

Provides the knowledge base for proper interaction while touring a Coral Reef
