Climate change and human activities are the biggest threat to our oceans, wildlife is being effected by rising ocean temperatures, as well as plastic becoming an increasing concern and a serious threat to life in the ocean it is time to take action. But we need data and lots more! Many researchers come from developed countries and join many volunteer projects to help collect data but imagine if those people where locals? Not only does it create jobs but also educates the community.
This project would enable local individuals to fully participate in Marine Conservation and find an employer, helping them with their monitoring program. It would create fully qualified SCUBA divers that know underwater survey methods and can start work with local bodies. With this awareness and opportunity it will also bring an awareness of pollution and issues that are generated from the local community and hopefully will start to help change habits
