This is more than a trip, it’s an excursion to work with Ken Nedimyer, the founder of the Coral Restoration Foundation, to learn more about coral restoration and get some hands on experience.

The dives will involve preparing corals for transplanting, surveying the new transplant site, and finally moving these new healthy corals into their new home.
