Why participate in a reef cleanup?

Reef cleanups are a great way to connect with the Coral Conservation Community while working together to get rid of debris. As divers, we are well aware of the pollution problem plaguing our ocean, let’s come together to *BE* the change! To get motivated, check out the results from the 13th Annual Southeast Florida Coral Reef Cleanup that took place summer of 2024. Then, join the waitlist for this year’s cleanup below so you don’t miss any updates!

Reef Cleanup FAQs

  • No, the event organizers, Friends of Our Florida Reefs (FOFR) and the DEP, will provide collection bags and shears. However, feel free to bring your own if you feel more comfortable!

  • Then this dive is not the one for you. This trip is solely for those who want to clean the reef, we’re trying to maximize debris collection to reduce the strain on our corals and collect much-needed data.

  • No, this is a reduced dive at $35, divers are responsible for their own gear and tanks. You can rent them through whichever dive shop you choose to dive with. Please make sure to tip the crew as they’re the ones keeping you safe and making this trip possible!
