Protect Our Reefs
Share
Based in the Florida Keys, Mote Marine Laboratory’s coral reef research programs restore and protect reefs by planting corals, testing treatments for coral disease, and pioneering efforts to grow and preserve resilient native genetic varieties. Mote is an independent nonprofit organization and has seven centers for marine research, the public Mote Aquarium and an Education Division specializing in public programs for all ages.

🚨 TWO TRAININGS LEFT! 🚨 Join Mote Marine Laboratory’s Florida Keys BleachWatch team! The BleachWatch Program trains recreational and professional divers and snorkelers to help monitor and report on conditions at the reef. Information from these citizen science reports, along with environmental conditions are summarized in a Current Conditions Report made available online at mote.org/bleachwatch. In this training, divers will learn how to identify coral bleaching, disease and predation, and complete the necessary data forms to submit observations to the program.
Attend one of our in-person training sessions. Register at the link in our bio or visit mote.org/bleachwatch!
