OUR INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS

KARNATAKA COAST

The Karnataka coastline is a relatively understudied wildlife habitat. Our projects here include marine megafauna rescue, beach clean ups and sustainable livelihood programs with underprivileged coastal communities.

GOA COASTLINE

Biodiversity across the 105 km of Goa’s coastline is replete with marine life, the most conspicuous being dolphins, turtles and pelagic birds. Our work here includes providing veterinary care to stranded marine megafauna.

ANDAMAN ISLANDS

The Andamans are part of India’s island territories, rich with diverse ecosystems including coral reefs, mangroves and tropical rainforests. Our work here includes coral reef restoration, research and awareness building.

BLUE INDIA

Blue India is our country's only underwater imagery competition and aims to raise awareness about our oceans through photography. In our 3rd edition of Blue India we were proud to be associated with Canon India.

VOLUNTEER WITH REEFWATCH

Volunteering with ReefWatch is very fulfilling, fun and rewarding. By giving your time and talents, you are making a huge difference to the way the ocean is protected in India. We have a small group of passionate people in the core team, and our work is richer for the efforts put in by our volunteers. You do not have to be a marine scientist to help– we welcome people from the fields of law, media, design, film, finance and pretty much any ocean lover with time to spare.
