Oceana, a global advocacy organization designed, according to Suzanne Garrett, Campaign Project Manager "to inform the dive community of ocean conservation issues and provide opportunities for divers to become involved in ocean policy," is seeking help from technical divers in identifying areas of deep sea corals. These are little understood communities that need protection before becoming destroyed by bottom trawling. Oceana would like you to submit GPS coordinates, depth, and photographic evidence in order for them to share this information with global researchers. Read more here.
