Join Mote Marine Laboratory and our partners as a citizen scientist, and receive hands-on opportunities to make a positive difference in the health of our coral reef ecosystem. Divers in the Florida Keys can sign up to assist Mote with outplanting efforts through the following programs:
SCUBAPRO is partnering with its vast network of ocean conservation-conscious brand dealers to organize a series of coral reef restoration events for divers to experience first-hand Mote’s science-based research and conservation efforts to protect the oceans we all love and enjoy.
Join SCUBAPRO and Mote Marine Laboratory as a citizen scientist and receive hands-on opportunities to make a positive difference in the health of our coral reef system. Spend a day learning about coral reef science, helping fragment coral utilizing Mote’s science to create genetically identical duplicates that grow as much as 50x faster than a natural coral, maintaining Mote’s expansive in-water nurseries, outplanting on designated reefs, and earn a certification upon program completion.
All scuba divers are welcome to join SCUBAPRO and Mote for these restoration events.
Mote Marine Laboratory partners with local nonprofit I.CARE (Islamorada Conservation & Restoration Education) to bring community-based reef restoration to the Islamorada area, including the world-famous Alligator Reef. I.CARE incorporates local businesses, residents and visitors in the restoration and maintenance of our coral reef communities through activities such as coral transplanting, marine debris clean-ups and reef monitoring.
