We now have a full schedule of Fishinars planned for 2015. Topics ranging from fishes of Laguna Beach, common invertebrates of New England, Puffers and Porcupines of the Caribbean, and thanks to many requests, we even have a "Turtlinar" for you! If you haven't participated in one of our free, educational webinars yet, you don't know what you are missing! Known as Fishinars, these hour-long sessions enable you to learn and have fun from the comfort of your living room.
REEF is partnering with Sharkey’s to host the “Funky Fish Party” fundraising event on Saturday, April 18 at 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event, and wearing marine life/ocean-themed attire is highly encouraged. This is the perfect opportunity to break out those squid hats, fish sweaters or lobster-print board shorts. A prize will be awarded for the best “fishy” outfit, and there will be other chances to win REEF merchandise in a raffle as well.
Join us to learn about Rays & fish found in the "Others" Category on the REEF Fish Survey Sheet.
Join us to learn about Cardinal & Squirrel fish seen in Florida waters.
Join us to learn about the Angel & Butterfly fish seen in the Florida Keys & how to identify them.
Classes start at 7 pm at REEF HQ, MM 98.3, Key Largo, FL.

Our 2015 REEF Trips are off to a great start, with fun, successful trips to Kona and Grand Cayman so far. Most of the remaining trips are sold out, but a few spaces remain. We would love to have you join us in Fiji (May 2-12, one male space left), Curacao (Aug 22 - 29, one male space left), Catalina Island (Nov 1 - 5, 4 spaces left), or St. Lucia (Dec 5-12, 6 spaces left). For trips that are sold out, we are happy to add your name on a wait list, as sometimes traveler's plans do change. We are working hard to get the 2016 trips organized.
