Our October 9th through 11th coral restoration project was the third of six planned for the year and was hosted by Amy Slate’s Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo Florida. Most of the out of town participants stayed at the resort, so there was a lot of socializing at the resort during the free times.

Special guests Ned and Anna DeLoach joined us for the project and were shooting video and still shots for some upcoming stories they are working on. Amy and her brother Justin also joined us for most of the project and were a lot of fun to have along, and on the last day of the project several people from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) joined in to help out.
