CoralWatch has trained >40 Ambassadors throughout Queensland that assist with events, reach out and deliver positive messages to inspire audiences to act to protect our coral reefs.

The CoralWatch Ambassador program provides you the opportunity to be part of a citizen science community that knows what’s happening to our reefs, collects and analyses CoralWatch data, shares results and educates others about the importance of reefs.
