About the event
Join our mission to save our planet!ย
Coral reefs are super important for our planet, kind of like underwater cities full of life. Even though they take up a tiny part of the ocean, they're home to a quarter of all fish and sea creatures. What's really cool is that they help us breathe!

We have partnered with Scubapro and Mote Marine Laboratory on this citizen science experience that includes hands-on restoration work on land and underwater. Lets dive into what our coral restoration trip entails!
