We Have a Special Request:
Our auction has ended... but our very important work to protect endangered coral reefs continues. As you know, Reef Relief works year-round on environmental education, direct action marine projects and policy guidance to insure protection for coral reefs. To fulfill this mission, we'll continue to need your ongoing good will and involvement. Please consider taking one - or both - of these important steps:

1. Volunteer.
Send us an email to express your interest and learn more about current opportunities. Reef Relief headquarters in Key West is in need of volunteers to help support our educational and marine programs, distribution of educational materials, special events, the online Coral Survey Archives, the Key West Marine Park, and more.... Similar programs are based out of Key West's sister city, Green Turtle Cay, in the Abaco, Bahamas. Volunteer docents are needed there as well. But where-ever you live, you can help us reach out to new audiences to increase their awareness and support for coral reefs--just contact us and we'll help identify a way to apply your interests and skills to saving coral reefs.

2. Contribute in another important way.
Please consider a tax deductible contribution to help ensure that Reef Relief can sustain its important programs. Mail your contribution directly to our offices at:

Reef Relief
P.O. Box 430
Key West, FL 33041

Finally, please accept our sincere thanks for considering Reef Relief in your year-end planned giving.  All donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Thanks so very much for your help and special thanks to CMarket for their support throughout the auction. Have a wonderful holiday season!!!

Reef Relief works year round to save our endangered coral reefs through environmental education, policy guidance and marine projects that make a difference for coral reefs. We believe that coral reefs deserve protection for their intrinsic value. These magical underwater worlds are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth rivaling even the tropical rainforests on land. They also support our economy through commercial fisheries and tourism and improve our quality of life.

 

Coral reefs provide habitat for many endangered species and protect our shorelines from storm surge. They even pull heat from the atmosphere and help reduce global warming. But unless we all get involved in protecting coral reefs, the first generation to discover diving may be the last to see living coral reefs. The good news is there are solutions to the myriad threats facing coral reefs; all it takes is building a strong constituency for coral reefs--creating an ocean ethic in us all! If you value healthy coral reefs, clean ocean waters and abundant fisheries, then get involved in saving coral reefs. If we all do a little, together, we will do a lot!
