More Coralwatch on Koh Tao
Getting into the Eco spirit some new eco divers as well as some old faces took their Coralwatch cards to the reefs around Koh Tao for some simple scientific surveys. Using Project Aware's Coralwatch methodology surveys were recently conducted at Mae Haad, Twins & Japanese Gardens on Koh Tao.

Coralwatch is coordinated by Project Aware in conjunction with the University of Queensland. Recent articles have suggested that while people are enthusiastic about the method they are not receiving as much data as they had hoped.
People need to submit more data and to this end Crystal Dive & Eco Koh Tao have come through again. Coralwatch is available to anyone (diving or snorkelling) with the initiative enough to simply get involved.
