We are The Coral Tribe.
An organisation devoted to Marine Conservation in Thailand. By training and educating divers and non divers to ocean issues, we hope to improve the health of our oceans and coral reefs with our holistic approach to Marine Conservation.
With over a decade of experience in training, research and a variety of ongoing projects, our main mission is the preservation and restoration of coral reefs so that future generations can benefit from these amazing ecosystems that have been impacted by humans.
Who are The Coral Tribe?
We are a group of like minded individuals all focused on the goal of protecting our oceans and coral reefs. With our qualified and certified Marine Conservation Instructors, we conduct marine conservation courses and internships for beginner to graduate level.
Marine Conservation Courses
We conduct marine conservation courses for you to be involved in marine science. Learn coral ecology, surveying methodologies, coral restoration techniques, data gathering, research and more.
You do not need to have a research background to be able to start your journey.
All you need is a keen interest in the marine ecosystem and a thirst to know more about how it works and how we can monitor changes and implement strategies to protect the ocean.
Marine Conservation Internships
We have short and long term placements to be a Marine Conservation Intern.
Ranging from 1 week to 3 months, you will join our team and be involved in all our ongoing projects.
Water quality testing, microplastic surveys, beach and ocean debris data collection, coral health monitoring and restoration, invasive species population control, artificial reef maintenance. All these projects and more, will give you a well rounded experience of Marine Conservation.
Marine Conservation Projects
Working with a variety of organisations, we provide extensive research data to scientists to access around the world.
Using our experience we have selected our research projects that focus on different elements of the ocean. Using all the data from these projects gives us a great understanding of the climate change and human impacts that cause serious harm to the ecosystem.
Scientist and governments can use this data to provide solutions or changes in regulations to protect our coral reefs.
