Last month, long-time REEF scientific advisor and Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Dr. Brice Semmens, participated in an important fisheries science meeting in Florida to help shape how Hogfish populations are assessed and managed in the Southeast U.S. This meeting was part of the SEDAR (Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review) process, a formal scientific review used by government agencies to assess the health of fish populations and set sustainable catch limits.
Get ready for a night to remember at REEF Fest 2025! One of the most anticipated events of the weekend, For the Love of the Sea, will take place on Saturday, October 18 from 5:00 to 8:30 pm at a stunning outdoor waterfront venue on Blackwater Sound in Key Largo.
At the REEF Ocean Exploration Center in Key Largo, science and art come together to spark curiosity and connection through The Ocean Inspires, a rotating art exhibit that showcases the work of artists, poets, and creatives who draw upon the ocean as a source of inspiration. Featuring interactive talkback boards, comfortable, inviting seating, and marine-focused art displays, The Ocean Inspires serves as a space for dialogue, reflection, and action.
