Due to the unprecedented high ocean temperatures at our reef sites, I.CARE has a moratorium on coral outplanting at this time, with an expectation to resume outplanting trips when water temperatures significantly decline. In the meantime, join us for our maintenance trips to ensure the survival and health of our current outplants! We are switching to outplanting reef sponges for our outplant days until temperatures decrease. Call any of our partnering dive shops for more details.
Join us to take part in restoring our local coral reefs!
Outplanting days are fun-filled with education, training, and, of course, diving! The day begins at 8:30 AM at Bud N' Mary's Marina in Islamorada with an educational presentation about corals followed by a hands-on mock demonstration that will prepare you for outplanting corals on the reef. That afternoon you will make two dives with our team to help us transplant coral, monitor and maintain the reef, and help remove snails and algae from our sites.
