Reef Guardians Required!
calendar_monthSeptember 13, 2009
BleachWatch Egypt seeks volunteers for its community based coral reef monitoring program that acts as an early warning system for potential coral bleaching events. Trained volunteers report back on the health of their local reefs and the information is used to track bleaching events and other environmental damage. BleachWatch Egypt is being launched this month at the Red Sea Diving Safari in Marsa Shagra, and will be introduced soon after to El Quesir, Lahami, St Johns and Wadi El Gimal. We aim to cover all of the Egyptian Red Sea and so all diving operations and resorts that are interested should contact us. Everyone can volunteer. We welcome applications from individuals who are divers, snorkelers or regular water users, as well as dive centres and other organisations who are interested in passing on their knowledge of the program. BleachWatch makes a great interactive educational tool for diving and snorkelling guests. Send an email to info@hepca.com to register.
