PROGRAMS

Education
Educational programs are intended for students. We provide field-oriented marine ecology & conservation education so that students gain an understanding of critical issues facing tropical marine ecosystems. With us, students will explore the community organization of reef organisms and learn about ecologic successions and the major stressors on tropical marine ecosystems. Through our high-school, undergraduate and graduate programs, we are training a new generation of leaders and researchers along with resource and policy managers.

Dive With A Researcher
In contrast, DWAR Field programs are primarily intended for professionals who dive and are interested in learning more about reefs and assisting researchers in various project areas. Previous attendees have included doctors, physicists, engineers and ordinary divers. Underwater photographers are especially welcome as we gather a great deal of photographic data.
