Would you like to learn more about coral reef restoration? The Mote lab in Key West Florida is looking for Volunteers from in June and July to assist Scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory.
The collaborative project between Mote, Florida State Parks, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council will work to restore corals at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park while educating people about reefs and asking volunteer “citizen scientists” to help.
志愿者将通过浮潜为研究人员提供帮助，同时还可以享受重新种植的珊瑚栖息地。将要求志愿者帮助科学家提供非技术帮助，例如递手和提供灭绝珊瑚所需的材料，同时浮潜，通过浮潜来进行额外的照相监测，并向公众教育该项目。
“This project highlights Mote’s coral reef restoration efforts and the many partners is takes to accomplish our goal of restoring Florida’s coral reefs,” said Dr. David Vaughan, Executive Director of Mote’s lab in the Florida Keys.

In July, Mote is looking for 20 planting days, with confirmed dates published at the end of June.
Please keep in mind that activities are dependent upon weather, waves and visibility underwater.
5volunteers each day can assist both on land and in the water. All volunteers must have their own snorkeling equipment and are responsible for their own safety in the water.
珊瑚planting will begin at 9 a.m. and end around 2 p.m., but can shift depending upon the tides. Any changes in timing will be emailed to volunteers. The meeting point for the volunteer efforts will be by the Refreshment Center at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park State Park.
