REEF Project

What is the REEF Project?

The REEF project (Research and Educational Establishments in Florida) is an initiative of the Central Florida Aquarium Society that promotes old Florida original aquatic landmarks, locations, and establishments that are associated with research and education. We are always looking for ways to give back and strengthen the aquatic community, and we feel this to be a very effective means of conveying these fascinating and often overlooked places to members of our community.

Following our visit to each location, we will create an article showcasing the location and/or landmark, including multiple photos and detailed information about what each has to offer. Some articles may include behind-the-scenes footage and conservation-specific data. Project hashtags: #cflas #reefproject.

If you would like your establishment considered for entry for the REEF project, please contact us.
