Another CRI in Florida and the 2010 Florida Reef Project

Hello Marine enthusiasts, scientists and divers.
We have successfully launched the Ocean Rehab Initiative in Florida.
http://oceanrehab.org
What is so different with this Coral Reef Initiative then so many others?
This Coral Reef Initiative is a volunteer diver/scientist organization.
-our purpose statement:
Ocean Rehab was organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes to promote and facilitate collaborative work between citizens, ocean scientists, federal/state and local governments, environmental organizations, academic organizations and others in order to improve the well being of ocean ecosystems through scientific research, education and public awareness relevant to understanding ocean reef ecosystems.

Our very first project of the CRI will happen in Florida in 2010.

We feel that it is most necessary to establish a globally recognized and accepted by science baseline for the SE Florida Reef Tract.

We are seeking more divers and scientists to join our project. Contact us at info@oceanrehab.org
