25 Years of Coral Reef Research
CCMI invites friends of all ages to join us for World Ocean Day 2023 as we look back on CCMI’s 25 years of coral reef research – and how this work will help us create a sustainable, hopeful future for coral reefs.
CCMI celebrates World Ocean Day every year as part of our Healthy Reefs outreach efforts, and in 2023, we will be returning to our special World Ocean Day Reefs Go Live event at the Camana Bay Cinema (virtual participation available, too)!
DATE: Thursday, 8th June 2023
TIME: 10:00 am – 10:40 am Cayman time (UTC -5h)
LOCATION: Camana Bay Cinema
Join CCMI as one of our virtual dive buddies for our special World Ocean Day 2023 Reefs Go Live broadcast: 25 Years of Coral Reef Research.
CCMI has been conducting innovative research and education in the Cayman Islands for 25 years, and this Reefs Go Live broadcast will communicate to viewers about how human actions have compounding impacts, both positive and negative. We’ll share everyday examples and insights from our scientific findings and conservation work over the last 25 years in the Cayman Islands.
The Reefs Go Live programme directly links CCMI’s team of scientists and educators with the audience in Grand Cayman, who see the live footage of coral reefs and listen to the educators – from underwater – in real time. Audience members can also message questions to the team in Little Cayman, with the divers providing answers to the audience during the dive.
** This event is free and open to local schools, tourists, and members of the public. Classes, especially years 4 and 5, are encouraged to participate. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for both in-person and virtual attendance. Donations are appreciated and support the conservation, education, outreach and restoration projects of CCMI.
