November Coral Restoration Trip Coming Up

One of the most rewarding and unique experiences that we offer at Atlantic Edge is our Coral Restoration Trips down to the Florida Keys. On this trip we work with the Coral Restoration Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Key Largo that grows corals in a nursery and then transplants them to the living reef. This is a very cool project and has the potential to be a groundbreaking way to help restore the world's ailing coral reef system.

On this trip you will get hands on with the corals- working with them in the nursery, transplanting them to a site on the reef, and doing some condition monitoring of old transplant sites. You will also take part in lectures with Ken Nedimyer, the founder and president of the Coral Restoration Foundation.

This trip will change the way you look at diving and the coral reef system. We as divers CAN make a difference, and taking part in this trip is a great first step. To learn more, click here.
