Join us for an inspiring evening focused on ocean conservation at “Rebuilding the Reef: Florida’s Corals & a Future Worth Saving,” taking place Friday, March 20, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

This special presentation features Leneita Fix, Executive Director and founding leader of The Reef Institute, a Florida-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting and restoring coral reefs through science, education, and community partnership.

Florida’s Coral Reef is the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States — and it faces significant threats from climate change, disease, and water quality challenges. During this educational program, attendees will learn about the innovative coral restoration strategies being implemented locally and across the Caribbean.

What You’ll Learn

• How coral disease and bleaching impact marine ecosystems

• The science behind coral propagation and ex situ coral care

• Community-based restoration efforts and sustainable reef models

• How individuals can support reef conservation

Under Leneita Fix’s leadership, The Reef Institute has become a trusted resource in coral conservation, combining advanced coral care techniques with hands-on education and community engagement.
