Join Mote Marine Laboratory's Florida Keys BleachWatch team!
The BleachWatch program trains recreational, commercial and scientific divers to help monitor and report on conditions at the reefs. Data collected by our citizen scientists, along with environmental conditions, are summarized in a Current Conditions Report made available online at mote.org/bleachwatch. In this training, divers will learn how to identify coral bleaching, disease and predation, and complete the necessary data forms to submit observations to the program.
This project is funded by Mote's "Protect Our Reefs" license plate and is coordinated by Mote Marine Laboratory in conjunction with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
