Jade and kelp may not have an obvious, direct connection. However, the ocean got major support from the Jade community in Monterey, California, this summer. ⁠
⁠
Thank you @montereybayjadefestival for making Reef Check one of your beneficiaries for the Jade Festival in June. Your $8,000 donation will support our scientific divers on the Central Coast and continue our long-term reef monitoring program.⁠
⁠
If you missed the Jade Festival this year, follow their account and participate in the next one!⁠

The new Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) report plainly states the importance of this work. Long-term monitoring gives scientists and managers the information needed to understand baselines, map long-term trends, find correlations between reef changes and their causes, and gather recovery data. ⁠
⁠
In this way, we can stay laser-focused on conservation goals, concentrating efforts in places that have proven to be most effective.⁠
⁠
Want to be a part of the solution? Join us for a future Reef Check training or donate to our cause today.⁠
