Reefs Go Live 2024 Episode 2: Researching on the Reef

There is nowhere where the saying ‘what you don’t know can’t hurt you’ is less accurate than in science. Scientists and researchers devote their lives to understanding the way things around us work for the benefit of humans and our planet. Understanding the world around us is essential to enable us to identify what needs protecting and conserving – and how to do that.

Our team highlights various research projects, including efforts supported by the National Science Foundation, the Healthy Reefs sponsors (Foster’s Supermarkets, Knighthead Annuity, and Cayman Islands Department of Tourism), Darwin+ and more!

Reefs Go Live is supported by the Edmund F. and Virginia B. Ball Foundation.

CCMI broadcasts LIVE from underwater along the coast of Little Cayman, a Mission Blue Hope Spot in the Cayman Islands. Reefs Go Live expands and enriches informal science learning in Cayman and offers new resources for teachers locally and globally. CCMI has a vision of a world with vibrant oceans and healthy coral reefs. To make this vision a reality we undertake cutting edge, impactful research and transform this research into conservation and education initiatives that bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Reefs Go Live has transformed the way CCMI teaches about ocean literacy and as a result, we are transforming how children learn and engage in ocean science.
