It’s Happy Planet Wednesday!


Today I'm joined by Mead Krówka from REEF (Reef Environmental Education Foundation), a marine conservation nonprofit based in Key Largo that connects people directly to ocean protection through hands-on citizen science. You might want to become one and join one of their Field Survey trips around the world. Sounds like a good vacation to me.


From tracking fish populations worldwide to leading efforts against invasive lionfish, Reef is turning everyday ocean lovers into powerful stewards of our reefs. The phenomenal amount of marine data collected is available on their searchable online database. 


With the help of people like you and me, Reef is shaping the future of marine conservation.
