Earthwatch Expeditions
Restoring Coral Reefs in BaliDuring the Restoring Coral Reefs in Bali expedition, you will snorkel (or scuba dive) over artificial and natural reefs to record the coral, algae, sponges, gastropods, and urchins in quadrats on the reefs taking photographs. These photographic surveys will help monitor how quickly communities are established on newly introduced artificial reefs, and compare communities on established artificial and natural reefs. You may collect water and sediment samples at different points along the reef structures, which will be used to analyze the available nutrients within the different communities. Additionally you may be asked to help deploy remote underwater video (RUV) to monitor mobile marine animal communities and then assist with data analysis.

Tracking Sharks and Rays in FloridaDuring the Tracking Sharks and Rays in Florida expedition, you will help bait and deploy longlines and drumlines to catch a variety of sharks. The team will then measure, identify, and tag the sharks before releasing them. You will work with researchers to pilot various methods of surveying ray populations, including baited cameras, longlines, and seine nets. Tests will be used to establish a method for assessing Florida’s stingray populations.
From the boat, the team will record the conditions of the habitat where sharks and rays are being monitored, including water depth, ocean floor type, salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and weather conditions.
