The Roctopus ecoTrust is a marine ecology and conservation programme that is based on the island of Koh Tao, situated in the Gulf of Thailand. This programme provides divers and ocean enthusiasts with an in-depth education on coral reef ecosystems and marine conservation, and offers a platform for individuals to engage directly in underwater research, monitoring and restoration projects through various programmes and internships.
The Roctopus ecoTrust has established several reef monitoring, research and mariner conservation projects around the island that provide essential information on the health of Koh Tao’s reefs, threats that they may be exposed to, and the effects that environmental stress and human impacts may have on corals and the diverse collection of reef organisms they provide habitats to.
The Roctopus ecoTrust offers a collection of coral reef ecology and marine conservation programmes and conservation internships that accommodate individuals of varying ability and experience, providing options to those who have never dived before through to industry professionals. Conservation programmes offered through the Roctopus ecoTrust range from 1-5 day courses to long term internships, including our unique 'conservation ecoDivemaster internship'.
