We went diving with Lost Reef Adventures to Sand Key reef, six miles south of Key West. This is North America's only living coral barrier reef, one of the most endangered in the world. Recent coral bleaching events have been responsible for the loss of a great deal of coral on this reef. Images of the bleached corals are at our Online Archive at www.reefrelief.org. The conditions at the reef today were very good; 50 foot visibility, lots of fish, although the condition of the coral was obviously not as good as years ago. Our divers and snorkelers brought our signs underwater where they were photographed by Reef Relief founder Craig Quirolo. Tom Jackson captures the event on video. Participating in the reef event were Reef Relief President Paul G. Johnson, Dr. Brian Lapointe of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Artist Ray Rolston, Michael Shields, local film producer Michael Shields, Reef Relief Executive Director DeeVon Quirolo and other interested divers and snorklers.
