Ocean Chat: 30 Years of REEF with Ned and Anna DeLoach

Join us for a special evening with Ned and Anna DeLoach as we celebrate 30 years of ocean conservation at REEF.

This event will be on Zoom, so if you have a webcam on your laptop or tablet or phone, it's really preferred so Ned, Anna and your friends can see you. However, you can also join in without a webcam and just listen.

If you have a favorite memory to share, or a question you'd like to ask of Ned and Anna, please submit them to 30years@REEF.org

*Note that this is scheduled for 90 minutes, starting at 8:00pm EST
