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.
