Welcome to our quarterly REEF Campus update, featuring a seasonal snapshot of what’s happening at the Ocean Exploration Center and REEF Campus in Key Largo. As the year winds down, we're reflecting on the incredible impact the Ocean Exploration Center has made in its first year - welcoming new audiences, expanding programs, and deepening our connection to the community through this mission-driven space.
We're headed to the southern Caribbean island of Tobago next summer, and you're invited to join us! Tobago is home to some of the healthiest reefs in the Tropical Western Atlantic, and nutrient-rich waters carried from Venezuela’s Orinoco River fuel this region, drawing in an impressive diversity of fish.
You can give the gift of healthy oceans by supporting REEF with a donation this winter. Your generosity helps us protect marine habitats and species, educate and inspire people of all ages, and safeguard marine biodiversity around the world. We’re so thankful to everyone who has already contributed to this winter’s campaign. We had an outpouring of support on GivingTuesday, but we still need to raise $44,200 in donations before the end of the year to be on track for the new year. If you haven’t yet made your gift, we hope you’ll consider donating today.
