Behold the beauty that lives below the water. Each student can participate in mapping out a specified area of coral reef while snorkeling. Diving into the deep blue will open the students’ and teachers’ eyes to their local coral reefs as you witness the changes that occur in the ecosystem as seasons and time pass. This is in an effort to develop an understanding of how climate change impacts reefs through practical experience.
