The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is the second-largest reef system in the world, and home to many different fish species. Throughout the week you will dive at Turneffe and Lighthouse Reef.
Thanks for your interest in REEF Fish & Friends! We are pleased to welcome our January 2023 speaker, Dr. Jim Bohnsack, retired NOAA Fisheries Biologist and past REEF Scientific Advisor.
Dr. Bohnsack's research focuses on protected species conservation, coral reef fish ecology, and fishery applications in artificial reefs and marine reserves. Learn the effects of marine reserves and climate change on Florida Keys fish species and their responses to stable and unstable environmental conditions.
Join the REEF team for our annual get-together to celebrate the holidays. Light refreshments and beverages will be served.
Join us for a free night of ocean, holiday, and Florida Keys themed trivia! Prizes will be awarded to top scoring teams and a portion of proceeds will be donated to REEF.
Enjoy an evening with Ned and Anna as they talk about their latest fishy adventures, their holiday traditions, and REEF's programs and impact from the year.
