We are excited to welcome the Spring 2026 Marine Education & Conservation Interns to REEF! The Interns and Fellows are based at the REEF Campus in Key Largo, and will assist with education, outreach, events, and more. Since 1993, more than 150 young adults have interned with REEF and transitioned into careers all over the world, in the marine conservation field and beyond. We are also thrilled that three of REEF's Fall 2025 Interns have continued their REEF journey as the new Marine Conservation Fellows.
Introducing our February Fish of the Month, the Kelp Bass, Paralabrax clathratus!
Netflix’s reality competition show All the Sharks has made waves not only with viewers around the world, but also in the ocean conservation community, and REEF was at the heart of the excitement.
The six-part series follows four teams of shark experts as they visit some of the world’s most biodiverse waters to find and photograph as many shark species as possible. Along the way, they dive deep into shark science, compete for a grand prize of $50,000, and highlight the importance of protecting sharks and rays.
There’s a lot happening at REEF this season, and the Ocean Exploration Center in Key Largo is the place to be for ocean-inspired learning, community gatherings, and conservation-focused fun. Here's an overview of what's coming up this spring.

A new year is here, and spaces are filling quickly on our 2026 Field Survey Trips! Limited space is available on the REEF Field Survey Trip to St. Eustatius on May 9-16.
