The REEF-WORLD Foundation is a UK-based charity that has worked with local people to conserve coral reefs in Thailand for over 10 years.

Our field of experience has been in working with both the diving community and local fishing communities to provide information about life on coral reefs and helping members of those communities find their own role in wider plans to protect reefs and related ecosystems.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to inspire and empower people to act in
conserving and sustainably developing coastal resources, particularly coral reefs and related ecosystems.

OUR VISION
Reef-World believes that nobody wants to harm the very environment we rely on to survive, and that by investing in educating people we can achieve conservation impact on the ground and in the reefs.

MANAGEMENT, TRAINING & OUTREACH
Training ranges from introducing marine ecology for fishing villages and community, to advanced marine ecology and reef monitoring training for dive & snorkel staff, up to threat mitigation through effective implementation of management policies for dive operations developing their businesses.

The Reef-World team is also available for work on a consultancy basis, please contact us directly for further information.

GREENFINS
The Reef-World Foundation has worked with the Phuket Marine Biological Centre to support Green Fins in Thailand since the project’s outset in 2004 assisting to establish the programme nationally. Reef-World is now committed to establish the Green Fins network further across the region through UNEP-COBSEA direction. Our strategy is to build the capacity of Green Fins country teams and the stakeholders, through training initiatives, knowledge transfer and human resource support. This will take place in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand later on this year – to see how this develops please see Latest News.
