Scuba Shack Weekly – Volume 3, Number 8

Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day. Wow, that came pretty quickly. Pitchers and catchers made it to spring training. I hear there is a ban on trash cans in ballparks.

Joel is off to Belize this week with our Scuba Shack contingent. They will be diving on Ambergris Caye at Sunbreeze Resort. We are looking forward to seeing Joel's photos and hearing all about their diving adventure.

Can we save the ocean in 10 years? The Blue Manifesto is a roadmap to a healthy ocean by 2030. Here is the Project AWARE press release. Lot of great information here plus a great short video on the call to action

I just read an article on the REEF website about the success of the recovery efforts of the Nassau grouper in the Caymans. The protections that started in 2003 and with the aid of REEF's Grouper Moon Project that includes research, monitoring, and outreach efforts, have resulted in the population increase of Nassau grouper from 1,200 in 2009 to 7,000 in 2018. Great news all around.

Believe it or not, we are less than two months away from our Key Largo adventure. There is still time to sign up. Check out last year's video.

 

Thanks for tuning in,

Jeff
