URGENT UPDATE: A special BleachWatch dive is set to take place on Sunday, March 8, organized by Students for Coral Preservation (SCP) in collaboration with Diver’s Paradise Dive Center. Divers will gather at 10 a.m. for the event, departing from Crandon Marina.
This dive is crucial as coral reefs face increasing threats from climate change and bleaching events. The BleachWatch initiative aims to monitor and record the health of coral reefs, providing vital data to scientists and conservationists. Participants will not only contribute to real-time data collection but also learn about coral preservation efforts firsthand.
The impact of coral bleaching is profound, affecting marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of communities that depend on healthy reefs. This event is not just about diving; it’s a call to action for environmental stewardship and awareness.
SCP encourages anyone interested in marine conservation to join the dive. The collaborative effort with Diver’s Paradise emphasizes the importance of community involvement in preserving our oceans.
As the date approaches, participants are urged to prepare for this hands-on experience that combines adventure with environmental advocacy.
