WHAT: World Ocean Day Reefs Go Live at the Camana Bay Cinema, Corals in a Changing Climate: A Dive into the Future of Coral Reefs
Reefs Go Live
As we look around us, the impacts of climate change are ever-present and increasing in severity, with 2023 being the hottest year on record. This broadcast takes a deep dive with CCMI’s researchers into how climate change affects our oceans and coral reefs, the impacts of last year’s increased water temperatures on Little Cayman’s reefs, how CCMI is working towards helping corals to survive these pressures, and how you can help too.
CCMI offers this opportunity to take a virtual dive with our team of scientists and educators as we explore Little Cayman’s coral reefs on World Ocean Day.
This event is **FREE** and open to everyone. School groups, especially years 4 and 5, are encouraged to participate.
