PGS In Key Largo with Coral Reef Foundation
Well, our new fiscal year is off to a "swimming" start! The end of July found us finishing up our first class of Ocean Ambassador training with our partners at the Coral Restoration Foundation in Key Largo, Florida. During this program, students in grades 6-12 learned about the plight of coral reef systems around the world, saw first-hand the work being done to restore the reefs, went snorkeling in the open ocean, saw reef sharks & stingrays, and even went face-to-face with some visitors of an underwater hotel located in the lagoon of our training venue (MarineLab)! They also participated in a marine debris clean-up where they picked up 88 lbs of trek in the first quarter mile of their trek alone... in only 30 minutes. Students had the opportunity to be citizen scientists when they entered their data in both Florida Microplastic Awareness Project and the Mote Marine Lab Debris databases. The weekend was a raging success and the students had a blast!
