Our sea-based event is all booked up! The CRF™ Coral Crew will lead hundreds of divers out to the reef utilizing dive boats donated by local dive shops ranging from Key Largo to Key West. We aim to return as many endangered corals to the wild in one day as we can. AND we've asked our neighbors in the restoration community to lend a helping hand! Restoration organizations including Rescue a Reef, I.CARE, and Reef Renewal will be sending their own staff out to return corals to the wild and show just how big a difference we can make for coral restoration when working together!
EDUCATION EVERYDAY
It is vital that we engage all communities if we are to succeed at saving coral reefs from extinction. Our education programs are designed to do just that. We can bring the experts to you with digital presentations, provide curriculum support with our downloadable activity packs, and even host your students or groups at our Exploration Center for hands on learning!

Colorful engaging panels, audio-visual installations, and interactive games provide visitors with all sorts of compelling ways to learn about coral reefs. Our fully-equipped classroom is light and airy and can be booked for any of our presentations or activity sessions.
