2/1 – Diving into Gray’s Reef – Your National Marine Sanctuary – Emily Little
Did you know there is a nationally-protected marine sanctuary 19 miles off our local coast? Similar to a National Park, Gray’s Reef National Marine
Sanctuary belongs to all of us. As a live-bottom reef, Gray’s Reef is home to
over 200 species of fish and 900 species of invertebrates. Emily Little, Education and Outreach Coordinator for Gray’s Reef National Sanctuary will discuss why so many animals call this place home, why it’s important to protect this habitat, what we are doing in the reef and throughout the community, and how you can get involved. At the end of the presentation, guests will be invited to “dive into” the reef with the use of Virtual Reality Headsets.
