'''Reef Check''' is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of two ecosystems: tropical coral reefs and California rocky reefs. It was established in 1996 and is currently active in over 90 countries and territories throughout the world.

== History ==

[[Reef Check]] was founded by [[Gregor Hodgson]], a marine ecologist, in response to the global crisis affecting coral reefs. The organization was established with the aim of creating a global network of volunteer teams, trained in Reef Check's scientific methods, to monitor and assess the health of coral reefs.

== Methodology ==

Reef Check's methodology involves a combination of scientific research, community involvement, and advocacy. The organization trains volunteers, including recreational divers and marine scientists, to carry out surveys of reef health. These surveys involve identifying and counting key indicator species, such as certain types of fish and invertebrates, and assessing the physical structure of the reef.

== Impact ==

The data collected by Reef Check volunteers is used to produce an annual Global Reef Report, which provides an overview of the health of the world's coral reefs. This report is used by scientists, policymakers, and conservationists to inform decisions about reef management and conservation.

== Programs ==

Reef Check runs a number of programs aimed at conserving coral reefs. These include the [[Reef Check EcoDiver]] program, which trains divers to conduct reef surveys, and the [[Reef Check California]] program, which focuses on the conservation of California's rocky reefs.
