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.

The People of the Dominican Republic

The people of the Dominican Republic are in many ways a very culturally rich population of people. As a group, we Sea Savers are going to go to great lengths in order to inform all of these people the value that their country has- especially in its beautiful coastal waters!

Here are some more specific facts regarding the Dominican population.

Geography of the Dominican Republic

Our country can truly be considered one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world. For many people this Caribbean island symbolizes the perfect exotic vacation location, while others view it as a place to find adventure and explore a brand new culture. The geography and natural part of the island of Hispaniola is really what makes the place so wonderful, though. Thick jungles, rocky mountains and gorgeous beaches make the Dominican Republic a natural wonder. More specific facts about the geography of our island can be found here!

Spring Fest

Our school has a yearly Spring Fest and our GIN group made a fishing game that encouraged children to fish lion fish and not parrot fish. But this was tricky since the kids could not see what they were fishing (just like fishing with a rod). Inside of the "reef" we also placed trash and other types of fish to teach children that taking trash out of  the seas is as good as eliminating the population of lion fish. This is the video we made about our experience in the Spring Fest.
