Earth Day Restoration Dives April 20-22
Certified scuba divers can take part in an active coral reef restoration program with the marine scientists from Key Largo’s Coral Restoration Foundation in conjunction with Sustainatopia, one of the world’s largest events that celebrates the fusion of social, financial and environmental sustainability, this year held in Miami April 19-25. Three full-day excursions in Key Largo are available Friday through Sunday, April 20-22. Participants meet for a morning training session discussing causes of coral reef decline, CRF’s role in coral restoration and how recreational divers help by volunteering. A two-tank guided afternoon dive excursion to the offshore coral nursery and an active reef restoration site includes a tour of one of the reefs where CRF has been restoring corals, followed by hands-on coral propagation and nursery maintenance activities. If weather conditions allow, participants will be able to help plant nursery-grown corals on the reef. This is primarily a dive excursion, and active participants must be certified open-water scuba divers. Cost is $100 per person and minimum age is 14. Tickets are available at http://sustainatopia.com/april20/coral-restoration-foundation.
