Education and Awareness

Learning to respect and protect from an early age is key to long-term successful marine conservation. Reef Conservation’s education and awareness programme is linked to our research and community activities to provide teaching tools and information about the marine environment in a local context.

The organization uses a multi-level approach through hands-on, field-based teaching methods for primary school students, secondary school students and the general public, and aims to be as wide reaching as possible, targeting students from public schools, non-formal education institutions and private education institutions. The Pereybere Beach Resource Center and the Nauticaz Marine Resource Center at Anse-La-Raie serve as a base for all field-based education programmes.

These teaching approaches are coupled with policy work to integrate marine science and conservation into the existing National Curriculum for primary school children.
