Today, the small group of island kids grew to an international collective of scientists, engineers, creators, and advocates determined to save the reef by revolutionizing ocean conservation and generating collaborative action around the world. This is just the beginning of the ocean revolution. We will learn more about the importance of reefs, join a coral-cutting workshop, and plant our very own coral to rebuild a healthy reef.
