I love how the program brings awareness to the youth. Teaching kids conservation at an early age will help them grow to be more environmentally conscious.

Official Entry: All n All I think The Reef Institute is doing a great job, protecting reefs for generations to come. I enjoyed reading the page and signed up for the newsletter.

"it is estimated globally, that by the year 2050, 90% or more of the world’s coral will be gone. "

This is terrifyingly soon and something I really don't want to see.

Bonus 3:
why I feel Corals are important to us is they are part of the earth and darn gorgeous, every eco system is important to our little rock floating around our sun

Subscribed. Learned that even though lion fish are invasive species in Florida, The Reef Institute keeps two of them for research and educational purposes. One even had a dislocated jaw and requires a tube for feeding.

I like that they offer internships to students. Great chance for them to learn

Subscribed. I was under the impression that we were already experiencing 90% overall coral loss. The Reef Institute corrected me stating that by the year 2050 we will be experiencing a 90% coral loss.

Subscribed, what i learned and honestly can't say I liked this, that the reef closest to me only has 3-5% left!!! I can say I like what they're doing, I like that the push isn't just for us in the here and now but to integrate learning in k-12...thats huge. While we all here in the hobby feel like we bring people in when we show off our tank, these guys are actively pushing to save the real reefs...by bringing the fact that our reefs are dying. I'll be honest, as I mentioned its not something I liked when I learned it. But it needs to be said

Not even gonna bonus enter, no offense Shane your tenuis is that hot hot fire , but to be honest these guys are doing work and id feel bad piggybacking

i did not know about all the corals we have lost/killed, so sad, it makes me happy to know that there are people out there that can help like them

I absolutely love the outreach to children to try and immerse them in marine biology and create a new generation of enthusiasts with our oceans!!!
