Earthdive is asking recreational scuba divers to help preserve the health and diversity of coral reefs and oceans.

The company is developing a Global Dive Log in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme, Coral Cay Conservation and marine biologists.

Earthdive wants to promote responsible diving and to raise awareness of the need for a more sustainable marine environment.

Divers and snorkellers can record sightings of key indicator species and human induced pressures via online logbooks into the Global Dive Log.

Observations of illegal trade in endangered species are also recorded, which are then passed on to TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network.
