  • Educational Signage

REEF's Floirda Keys campus recently underwent an expansion, and recognition opportunities for various indoor and outdoor signage are available.

REEF brings college students and recent graduates to our headquarters to intern for a semester. Four interns and at least one Environmental Leadership Intern are provided discounted housing and still incur additional expenses to participate in diving trips, food, gas and other expenses.
