Gap Year Volunteering: Conservation and Environment Programs

General Info

You can be part of the protection plan for Thai coral reefs by volunteering on the Projects Abroad Diving and Marine Conservation Project that operates in this beautiful region.

The coral reefs and mangrove swamps on the coast of Thailand are stunning places and they're doing well. They are threatened though. Threatened by fishing, by tourism, by shrimp farms and by climate change. But for now you can still dive and explore them in all their splendour.

Mangroves and coral reefs are part of the same eco-system. Many of the creatures essential to the coral reef start their life-cycles in mangrove swamps. Projects Abroad works in both parts, doing important scientific work on the coral reefs and planting new mangroves - and minimising human impact on both environments.
