Our Reef Check Visit to Playa Fronton

Watch us as we explore this beautiful beach and study the marine wildlife found in its coral reefs!

Alongside the Reef Check crew and some students from Ms. Yemma's AP Environmental Science class, we were able to learn more facts about the reefs and what it is exactly that makes them so fragile and susceptible to harm from human activity.

Collaboration

A few weeks ago we the Sea Savers joined forces with Reef Check in the Dominican Republic. Our combined missio, will be none other than finding ways to preserve and protect the coral reefs. If you don’t know, Reef Check manages a coral nursery in La Caleta where they grow coral and then either reattach the 

coral to reefs or break them to grow more pieces. The nursery also helps maintain species diversity with the little coral that is left.

Now for the first time ever in the Dominican Republic you, can help 

support the nursery by adopting BABY CORAL!! We will be helping the Reef Check organization implement this idea to hopefully make adoptions available by this summer. We are happy to announce that upon adoption you will receive a goody bag that includes a picture of your coral, interesting facts about coral, tips on how you can help protect your coral, and more. By adopting coral you will be not only be financially supporting them but maybe even contributing to the saving of one of our most diverse ecosystems.

To help Reef Check with this monumental task we will be helping them by designing the goody bag, designing the website and even assisting in the construction of the artificial coral habitat at the nursery. Together with your help we will save the coral reefs, together we will change the planet.
