Voluntary Conservation Projects |
|
On a CCC expedition you can get involved with so much; from surveying fish on some of the richest coral reefs in the Philippines, to working with local communities in Tobago or assisting with some of the first marine research ever to be conducted in Cambodia...
A CCC marine conservation expedition is your opportunity to enjoy a responsible holiday and work with communities to support the conservation of coral reef ecosystems. Coral Cay Conservation projects are based in locations where local Non Governmental Organisations, government or communities have invited us in as collaborators. Our projects form part of the host countries long-term conservation aims, so you can be confident that your participation in a CCC expedition will have a direct and lasting effect.
