Florida Keys Dive Center has been helping pilot this replanting program for the past 2 years and recently partnered with The Coral Reef Restoration Foundation to offer sport divers a unique opportunity to be a part of doing something to give back to the awesome ocean environment that so many of us have been enjoying for many years. We have arranged to offer sport divers a chance to “adopt a reef” and be involved in an actual replanting program. As part of our coral planting schedule we will be offering a 1 or 2 day program that will include class room training, /w nursery work, and or actual coral planting on a site designated by the National Marine Sanctuary.

This program is a work in progress so interested parties should contact FKDC for updates on the coral planting programs being offered ( see schedule).
