Join us for a socially distant Earth Day Lionfish Derby!
This is our 8th annual Florida Keys "locals" derby; fishing allowed in Monroe County waters only.
The derby competition will be designed to allow teams and coordinators to maintain safe social distance while still encouraging the removal of lionfish from our reefs!
Event Schedule
Many of Hawaii's colorful underwater residents belong to the Butterflyfish family. This session will take a closer look at them and how to tell them apart.
IMPORTANT: Note the time zone and make sure you adjust it as needed for your location!
Part of a volcanic and coral mountain range, Guanaja is within the world's second-largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Dive sites surround the entire island, meaning it's possible to find a site with calm water on nearly any day of the week.
Enjoy playing Tropical Western Atlantic region fish-themed games with your fellow REEF fish geeks.
Journey with us to the Western Indian Ocean to take a closer look at some of the colorful inhabitants in the waters there, and how to identify them.

Lynn Waterhouse's Bio:
REEF is excited to announce our new Oceans Explorers Virtual Field Trips Program! These interactive field trip simulations will bring marine science to life with engaging lesson plans and activities to connect students to the ocean without leaving the classroom.
Casual, fun time to check in face-to-face and say hi to your fellow REEF friends, and a chance to meet new ones. We'll have structured breakout rooms, maybe a game, and topics to discuss.
Hawaii is a perfect place to snorkel and this session will help you learn how to identify some of the likely suspects you'll see on your ocean adventure.
