As the world starts to fully understand the impact that human actions have had on our planet, marine conservation initiatives and conservation-related employment opportunities are becoming extremely popular. Why just work when you can work at making the world a better, more healthy place? Koh Tao marine conservation efforts – both educational and practical – have been exploding in popularity over the years.
The main objective of Big Blue Conservation is to do as much marine conservation on Koh Tao as we can to ensure that the island remains undisturbed by the growing tourism and that the marine life is still here for future generations to enjoy.
As well as working closely with Save Koh Tao on larger projects such as Buoyancy World and Bio Rock, we are implementing a range of smaller projects such as coral nurseries and a constructed wetland to help clean the islands grey water, as well as contributing to global research studying the impact of climate change on this beautiful environment.
In order to achieve these goals, Big Blue Conservation depends on dedicated and trained teams of expedition volunteers to help construct, maintain, monitor and develop our marine conservation on Koh Tao projects. So whether you are looking to try something new, gain life experiences, develop a career in conservation, or just fancy a break from the norm, our month-long expeditions will train you from never having dived before to being able to identify sharks and grow corals.
We offer Marine conservation skill development expeditions every month, where you will receive advanced training on all things watery, including coral reef biology, underwater survey training, coral nursery construction and artificial reef maintenance. Does this sound exciting??
