In February, Blue Endeavors hosted Reef Check’s Dan Abbott and Joshua Russo, President of the Watermen’s Alliance, for a deep discussion on California’s North Coast Purple Urchin Situation. The talk, held in-person in Alameda, was recorded and featured the latest news on North Coast urchin removal efforts.

n honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, California Natural Resources Agency hosted a number of California resources-related talks that you can tune in to at home! Reef Check’s Tristin McHugh was invited to speak about the exciting Kelp Restoration Program that we are launching in Northern California, and provide some background and context pertaining to that effort.

Get ready to place your bids! Reef Check’s online auction fundraiser, “Bid for the Oceans”, kicks off September 16 and will run until September 26. Visit starting September 9 for a sneak peek at all the items! From dive trips, resort stays, unique experiences and cool gear, there will be something for everyone. Plus, when you bid on all the exclusive and exciting deals, you will be supporting Reef Check’s work around the world.

This Auction is very important for Reef Check. It will help raise the funds we need to get our work done and keep our doors open! It will help fund our volunteer trainings, our survey expeditions, our education trips- all of it.
