This program takes place at Mote's Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration (IC2R3) in Summerland Key, Florida and at Captain Hooks Dive Center on Big Pine Key. Join SCUBAPRO and Mote Marine Laboratory as a citizen scientist and receive hands-on opportunities to make a positive difference in the health of our coral reef system. Spend a day learning about coral reef science, helping fragment coral utilizing Mote’s science-based research to create genetically identical duplicates that grow as much as 50x faster than a natural coral. After spending a morning with Mote Scientists, take nursery-grown corals and outplant them onto the reef at one of our designated outplanting sites on the Florida Reef Tract, helping to rebuild our coral population. Activities will be dependent on water and weather conditions. Price includes a coral restoration workshop, training on coral fragmentation, a 2-tank dive and a citizen science card. Note: Scuba equipment rental is not included but can be arranged through the dive shop. Tanks and dive weight will be provided. Ages: 15+ no exceptions; participants age 15-17 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. All divers MUST have completed a dive within one year prior to the session date, or the dive operator will require a refresher course. Your registration confirmation email will contain additional important information such as meeting time and location, along with what to wear and bring, and additional important information and waivers which must be completed prior to attending the program.
