Weekly, we measure metrics like temperature, salinity, pH, turbidity, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen in the water of our dive sites. This data enables is submitted to an island-wide database that helps to track changes over time and guide conservation efforts.

Our team’s work supports CoralWatch, a citizen science program operated by the University of Queensland. 

Using a colour-based coral health chart, divers and snorkelers can evaluate the health of corals across reefs, adding the information collected to this global database that maps the extent of coral bleaching and gives scientists incredibly valuable information about recovery trends, disease patterns, and an accurate depiction of areas most threatened by coral bleaching. 

Come join our team each Friday at 5:45PM at Victor’s bar – right down on the beach from Roctopus HQ – for a sunset beach clean and free beer courtesy of RAID International!

All rubbish collected is recorded by our ecoTrust team and submitted to the Ocean Conservancy, which monitors global marine pollution.
