Dive in and help reef preservation

Travellers are being given the chance to take part in the conservation of the world’s second largest reef system this March with Biosphere Expeditions – the award winning, non profit making conservation specialist, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Interested parties will join a small international team of conservation volunteers looking at the reef in the middle of the Cayos Cochinos Natural Monument off the coast of Honduras.

The purpose of the work is to provide data on the current biological status of the reefs and the population levels of protected species within the marine environment. Data collection follows an internationally recognised coral reef monitoring programme called Reef Check and will be used to make informed management and conservation decisions within the protected area.

The expedition also includes certification as a Reef Check EcoDiver.

Expeditions run between 1-13 March & 15-27 March and cost £1260 per person excluding travel to and from Honduras.

Please note to take part in this project you must be a qualified diver – minimum PADI Open Water or equivalent.
