About Our Initiatives
Sea Turtle Conservationist Program (Snorkeling)
Dive into an unparalleled adventure with our Sea Turtle Conservationist Program. Hosted in the crystal-clear waters of Waikiki Bay, this initiative provides a unique opportunity to observe sea turtles at their cleaning stations, where they are most natural and undisturbed.
This program stands out by combining marine exploration with significant conservation efforts. Participants use underwater cameras to take precise images of the turtles, which are then analyzed with facial recognition technology.
This innovative method assists in the tracking and identification of individual turtles, enhancing our understanding of their population health, migration routes, and allowing enthusiasts to contribute meaningfully by naming them.
Our program goes beyond mere observation, offering a deep dive into the importance of these creatures to the ecosystem, the threats they face, and how we can protect them.
Sea Turtle Identification and Photogrammetry Training Program (Diving Only)
We are excited to offer our new Photogrammetry Training Program in addition to the sea turtle conservationist program, exclusively designed for divers. This cutting-edge course aims to incorporate the sea turtle identification component and instruct participants in the application of photogrammetry techniques for the purpose of marine conservation.
Photogrammetry, the science of making measurements from photographs, is a vital tool in creating detailed 3D models of coral reefs, underwater landscapes, and marine species. These models are crucial for the ongoing monitoring and research necessary for conservation. Participants will gain hands-on experience in underwater photography, data collection, and the processing techniques required to contribute to marine preservation efforts effectively.
Both of these programs are crafted to immerse participants in the critical work of marine conservation. Each offers a mix of practical conservation activities and educational content designed to leave participants with not only memorable experiences but also the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in marine ecosystem preservation.
Join us on these extraordinary journeys where adventure and technology converge, empowering every participant to contribute actively to the conservation of our oceans.
