We are partnering with Florida Keys Brewing Company (FKBC) to host a socially-distant, outdoor screening of David Attenborough's new film, "A Life on Our Planet."
Proceeds from each pint of FKBC's Fish Tail Pale Ale sold during Movie Night will be donated to REEF. We will have some REEF swag available for purchase, including t-shirts and neck gaiters, which make great holiday gifts! Please note there there is limited seating at FKBC, so guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.
Join us for our first ever Fish Out of Water Virtual 5K Race! The Fish Out of Water Virtual 5K is a chance to get out and get active in your local community while making your miles count. From September 28 - October 4, we're encouraging the REEF community and ocean enthusiasts everywhere to get moving in the name of conservation. You can choose to run, walk, hike, or bike, completing the 5K (3.1 miles) distance in one day or broken into smaller sections over the week.
Unfortunately, REEF’s Winter Lionfish Derby Event at Sharkey’s Pub and Galley for April 4, 2020 has been cancelled. We have exhausted the options of hosting a remote competition where teams can just drop off their fish, but at this time we are going adhere to the recommendations worldwide and encourage social distancing.
We will try to reschedule the Lionfish Derby competition in some capacity if possible in the upcoming months.
