LMC biologists are offering a SCUBA-based experience for active adults looking to take a more active role in marine conservation. Join us August 25-27, 2016 and experience a unique vacation while helping rebuild and restore precious coral reef habitat. On this excursion, you will be preparing corals to be planted off shore in an effort to promote the re-growth of Florida's natural coral reef system. After you prepare them for outplanting, you'll spend two days diving planting your prepared coral and helping conduct critical research and observation of native fish populations.
