REEF CHECK is an International Project being conducted at reef sites throughout the world during June, July and August.

Data collected will be submitted to Dr. Gregor Hodgson at the Institute for the Environment and Sustainable Development Research Center, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clearwater Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The data collected will encompass the evaluation of coral health and fish diversity.
