Expeditions
Our latest expeditions have brought us to the Windward Islands of the Caribbean after two years in the Virgin Islands. Here, we have been providing reef documentation to fisheries departments in several island nations. We’re assisting with water-based nurseries, initiating new nurseries, and constructing artificial reef structures where the original reef systems have collapsed. Clean Reefs is truly making a difference in the Caribbean. Stand by for more!
