What is Reef Conservation International?
Reef Conservation International (ReefCI) volunteer trips are a unique opportunity to protect the reef ecosystem by directly participating in our ongoing marine conservation projects! We are located on a small, private, picture-perfect Caribbean island on the Belize Barrier Reef.  The diving is incredible and the conservation work we do is meaningful! Join us and make a difference!!

What will I be doing?

Each week/day will differ but you will be helping and participating in the following areas:

• Invasive Lion fish: Spearfish to remove this destructive invasive species that is destroying native coral reef ecosystems.

• Marine Conservation Education: Learn about coral reefs and marine animals and discover how we can protect our oceans and reefs.

• Whale Shark Monitoring (if spotted): Dive with the largest fish in the ocean and record sightings to improve conservation efforts.

• Biodiversity Identification Dives: Identification dives (fish, sea turtles, sharks, invertebrates, coral) to increase one’s knowledge and understanding of reef ecosystems.
• Beach Clean-ups:  Weekly beach and island trash/plastic removal on islands of the Belize Barrier Reef.
