It would be embarrassing, honestly.⁠
⁠
It can be overwhelming trying to figure out how to help the ecosystems we love. Our 30 years of experience in long-term reef monitoring have taught us that one singular person can’t do it all. We need communities working together and in parallel, doing small actions throughout the year. ⁠
⁠
Choose the thing you’re truly passionate about and donate, volunteer, or advocate for policies in that field. If reef health and community science are your interests, join our efforts here at Reef Check! ⁠
⁠
See more about what we do on our website. Don’t give up hope. Take action today.⁠

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!⁠
