I learned The Reef Institute works with local governments, schools, and partners to create meaningful outreach events and field trips for the public to gain understanding and awareness of our Florida Reef Tract

Subscribed, I learned that this group is running a very similar operation to something I've wanted to do for years and they're definitely going to be getting some support from me!

One thing that I really liked was their goal to teach within classrooms and educate the next generation about coral reefs / the rapidly declining states of our natural reefs. It is super important to educate the next generation so that our current efforts are not forgotten!

Official Entry: I love that there are many ways and levels to get involved, I wished I lived closer so I could volunteer. best part is that they don't just ask for money, they are also deeply into the education process to help attempt fix the problems from the bottom up.
