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.
