Reef Check is a volunteer monitoring programme first founded in 1997 by Dr. Gregor Hodgson to answer the question: "What is the health of the world's reefs?"  In order to implement it on a global scale, a simple, rapid monitoring technique was designed that relies mainly on trained volunteers led by marine scientists. 

The Reef Check concept is to create an international network of regional, national and local volunteer coordinators who are responsible for Reef Check activities in their area.  

CCDC now archives Reef Check data for selected areas in the Caribbean region.
