Sobre el programa

This isn't your ordinary trip – it's an opportunity to dive into the heart of marine conservation and play a vital role in protecting Fiji's precious coral reefs.
You'll learn about the intricate world of coral biology and the complex challenges facing these vital ecosystems. Through hands-on training and guided research, you'll become equipped to conduct coral surveys, assess reef health and contribute valuable data to ongoing conservation efforts.
GVI focuses on key priorities including data collection on fish and coral species, habitat mapping, environmental education and community development initiatives. Volunteers receive comprehensive training covering coral biology, threats to reefs and survey techniques. You'll be joining forces with others who share your passion for environmental conservation. Together, we collaborate with local communities and organisations to develop strategies for safeguarding Fiji's marine ecosystems.
