Where do baby corals come from? Instead of storks bringing these bundles of joy, sometimes its scientists and SCUBA divers doing the honors! In fact, we team up with the Reef Institute to plant baby corals in the Palm Beaches.
Join us for an exclusive tour of the Reef Institute! Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine as we dive into the magic of growing corals.
Learn about the important coral research and conservation efforts underway right here in the Palm Beaches as we tour their expanded facility.
Take an insider look into how baby corals are grown and eventually planted offshore. Attendees will have the first chance to get involved in local coral out-planting! Space is limited. RSVP soon to save your spot.
