The nonprofit foundation’s focus is on re-establishing coral colonies like the endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals to the Florida Keys.

In an effort to make their program goals more public, in 2007 Ken Nedimyer, president of the Foundation, started the volunteer arm of the Coral Restoration Foundation.  With the volunteer program, participants learn about environmental issues the Keys face as well as take hands-on dives to help restore coral species like the staghorn and elkhorn corals:

Volunteers go on working dives to the coral nursery to clean and prepare corals for planting, and an orientation dive at one of the restoration sites to see firsthand the evolution of corals over time.

At the nursery, corals are started from a clipping about the length of a knuckle and grow to 30 or 40 centimeters. After a year on the reef, the corals grow several inches tall with multiple branches. In five years, they are strong, independent structures serving as habitat for a variety of tropical fish. ...

“This is something the average person can get their hands on and do,” Nedimyer said. “We have a lot of people who have volunteered, and they ‘own’ this project. They can take (the experience) back to their home communities — it is a grass-roots way of giving people ownership.”

A three day dive trip with the Foundation will cost $456.50 per person and covers lodging, tanks, weights, classroom sessions, dive trips to transplant coral and tend the coral nursery.

Sed venio ad inconstantiae crimen, ne saepius dicas me aberrare; Quod quidem iam fit etiam in Academia. Addidisti ad extremum etiam indoctum fuisse. Multa sunt dicta ab antiquis de contemnendis ac despiciendis rebus humanis; Ille vero, si insipiens-quo certe, quoniam tyrannus -, numquam beatus; Duo enim genera quae erant, fecit tria. An nisi populari fama? Tollitur beneficium, tollitur gratia, quae sunt vincla concordiae. Cuius quidem, quoniam Stoicus fuit, sententia condemnata mihi videtur esse inanitas ista verborum. Ut alios omittam, hunc appello, quem ille unum secutus est. Cur iustitia laudatur? Easdemne res? Quia dolori non voluptas contraria est, sed doloris privatio. At Zeno eum non beatum modo, sed etiam divitem dicere ausus est. Ut placet, inquit, etsi enim illud erat aptius, aequum cuique concedere. Nulla profecto est, quin suam vim retineat a primo ad extremum. Conclusum est enim contra Cyrenaicos satis acute, nihil ad Epicurum. Quid igitur dubitamus in tota eius natura quaerere quid sit effectum? Quo modo autem philosophus loquitur? Est igitur officium eius generis, quod nec in bonis ponatur nec in contrariis. Hoc dixerit potius Ennius: Nimium boni est, cui nihil est mali. Quae cum ita sint, effectum est nihil esse malum, quod turpe non sit. Haec quo modo conveniant, non sane intellego. Teneo, inquit, finem illi videri nihil dolere. Sed videbimus. Quid de Pythagora? Bacon ipsum dolor amet tenderloin bresaola sausage turkey shankle ham hock. Pork belly chislic jerky leberkas.

Qui ita affectus, beatum esse numquam probabis; Huius, Lyco, oratione locuples, rebus ipsis ielunior. Non quam nostram quidem, inquit Pomponius iocans; Negat enim summo bono afferre incrementum diem. Primum Theophrasti, Strato, physicum se voluit; At ego quem huic anteponam non audeo dicere; Immo videri fortasse. Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Fortitudinis quaedam praecepta sunt ac paene leges, quae effeminari virum vetant in dolore. Si enim, ut mihi quidem videtur, non explet bona naturae voluptas, iure praetermissa est; Qui-vere falsone, quaerere mittimus-dicitur oculis se privasse; Qui potest igitur habitare in beata vita summi mali metus? Omnium enim rerum principia parva sunt, sed suis progressionibus usa augentur nec sine causa; Sed quia studebat laudi et dignitati, multum in virtute processerat. Aliter homines, aliter philosophos loqui putas oportere? Negat enim summo bono afferre incrementum diem. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Et quod est munus, quod opus sapientiae? Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Non enim iam stirpis bonum quaeret, sed animalis. Cupit enim dcere nihil posse ad beatam vitam deesse sapienti. Quod iam a me expectare noli. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Illud dico, ea, quae dicat, praeclare inter se cohaerere. Sin aliud quid voles, postea. Traditur, inquit, ab Epicuro ratio neglegendi doloris. Qui bonum omne in virtute ponit, is potest dicere perfici beatam vitam perfectione virtutis; Ne amores quidem sanctos a sapiente alienos esse arbitrantur. Iubet igitur nos Pythius Apollo noscere nosmet ipsos. Nec vero intermittunt aut admirationem earum rerum, quae sunt ab antiquis repertae, aut investigationem novarum. Facile est hoc cernere in primis puerorum aetatulis. Quodsi vultum tibi, si incessum fingeres, quo gravior viderere, non esses tui similis;
