questions, comments or just want to talk about this trip - Let's
talk!!! Email dan - dan@atlanticedge.com
Thursday,
7:00pm- Lecture 1 With Ken Nedimyer, Founder and President of the
Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF). Lecture is schedule to be at the
Florida Keys Dive Shop.
Having a start time of 7:00 PM gives us flexibility on flights into
Florida on Thursday. You can leave the Baltimore/DC area anytime in the
morning and still arrive in time for our first lecture.
Schedule
Friday,
8:00am - Dive 1, 2 - Dive the Coral Nursery (Including retrieving
corals to transplant)
LUNCH
Friday, 1:00pm
- Dives 3, 4 - Transplant Nursery Corals to their new site
Friday, 6:00pm
- Lecture 2 with Ken Nedimyer
Friday will be a long day of diving and lectures - the majority of our
restoration work will take place on Friday, using techniques we learned
on Thursday night with Ken.
Saturday,
8:00am- Dives 5, 6 - Coral Reef Survey dives on previously
established CRF transplant sites to document coral growth
Saturday,
2:00pm - Lecture 3 with Ken Nedimyer
Saturday's work will be vitally important to the CRF, as we will be
surveying and documenting previous transplant sites to gauge the
continuing success of the CRF program.
Two
notes about the Saturday schedule:
1) We will be diving Saturday morning, so you have a lot of
flexibility in your flights home on Sunday
2) All programming will be over by 4:00 or so on Saturday, so we
will have Saturday evening to explore some fun in the Keys!
See you in the
Keys!!!
