Conservation Diver - Ecological Monitoring Program

Conservation Diver courses are a great way to participate in marine science and data collection with our in-house marine biologists. Blue Corner offers a week-long (6 day) Ecological Monitoring Program at Blue Corner Dive in NUSA PENIDA, Bali.

The Ecological Monitoring program is designed to give students an introduction to coral reef ecology and how to view the reef scientifically by assessing key biotic and abiotic reef components. The course teaches students how to use real world scientific sampling and reef survey techniques and certifies them to conduct their own surveys and report data back to the online database. Parameters assessed include fish and invertebrate abundance and biodiversity, substrate cover, coral taxonomy, coral diseases, coral bleaching, and more. This course can then be combined with several of Blue Corner's other conservation programs at either of our Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan diveshop locations.
