Divers turn conservationists as corals bleach worldwide
Divers turn conservationists as corals bleach worldwide
Nannalin Pornprasertsom is one of a growing number of scuba divers learning conservation and citizen science techniques as coral reefs experience the world's fourth global bleaching event. The death spiral is everywhere in the waters around Thailand's Koh Tao where Pornprasertsom uses her new skills to monitor the health of the reef.

00:30I find it fun and I really like diving and it's just something that I can do that will
00:48have a good consequence for the environment.
01:14From the scientific perspective, what we're doing is collecting data and we're providing
01:17it to the scientists so they can actually work with governments and authorities to perhaps
01:22do impact monitoring, assessments for different projects that are going on.
01:30From a student perspective, what we're trying to do is educate people, we're increasing
01:36awareness through education basically and the hope is that obviously they tell their
01:40friends, their family and everybody becomes a little bit more aware.
02:10In our little localised site, with good coral growth, we've seen fish communities bounce
02:20back, we have snappers returning, we have resident puffer fish helping to keep some
02:25of the biofouling substrates in check and we're really seeing reef communities come
02:30back to this very small area.
