Why Arts & Science? 

REEF is working with the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, the State of Florida, the Department of State, the Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and private donations to provide educational programming, workshops, and events aligning with our Arts & Science Initiatives. Combining arts and science enriches both fields, fostering imagination and creativity. Artistic expression in any form stimulates creativity, which is essential for scientific innovation. Likewise, science and conservation can inspire new artistic techniques and perspectives. 

The arts can communicate complex scientific concepts in accessible and engaging ways, making science and conservation more relatable and understandable to all. Diversity is one of nature's greatest strengths, and it should be ours as well. Integrating the two fields provides opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds and skills to contribute to ocean conservation, fostering inclusivity and diversity in our community.
