This document outlines the goals and activities of a coral reef conservation program. The program aims to: 1) Collect data on coral health and raise awareness of marine issues and reef conditions. 2) Provide training in scuba diving, marine species identification, and conducting conservation projects. 3) Engage in data collection, community outreach, and school visits to raise awareness of threats to coral reefs. 4) Select applicants who are interested in the program and can contribute through an application, swim test, and interview.

16. Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some
blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There
are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs
are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the
middle of the planet. There's still time, but not a lot, to turn
things around.
