Eco Divers Reef Foundation

Eco Divers Reef Foundation is a nonprofit run by a husband and wife team dedicated to saving the coral reefs in Grand Cayman. We set up Eco Divers to provide student programs that involve teaching others how to scuba dive and leaning how to regrow and plant corals back onto our reefs. With Eco Divers you can make a difference with your time by saving the environment, exploring the underwater world, and best of all receiving college credit

Thank you to KPMG in the Cayman Islands on becoming Eco Divers Reef Foundations first Platinum sponsor to our nonprofit. With their help we have been able to get multiple volunteers in the water and have planted over 500 coral back into Cayman’s waters. We cannot thank this group enough for their continued support! Together we can save our oceans and reefs. @kpmg_cayman #savethereef #caymanislands #sponsorship #platinumsponsor #thankyou #coral #coralreef #ocean #beach #ecodivers #scubadiving #chasingcoral #volunteer (at Grand Cayman) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2FEaZFIAG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e2dpks5pcutw

More baby turtles! A few weeks after mating, a female green sea turtle arrives on the beach and digs a hole in the ground for her eggs. She lays 75 - 200 eggs and then covers the hole with sand. She leaves her eggs to fend for themselves. After two months the eggs hatch and the hatchlings make their way to the water. The newly hatched green sea turtles are very susceptible to predators, exposure, and losing their way. Birds, mammals and other predators love feasting on the young turtles. One of the greatest threats to hatchlings face is light pollution near beach nesting sites. The light from buildings and homes confuses the young turtles so that they crawl towards the light and not the ocean. So if you live near a beach be sure to switch to turtle friendly lights 😊 Footage taken by the Cayman turtle watch program. #turtles #seaturtles #oceanlife #islandlife #ocean #islandvibes #ecofriendly #eco #savetheocean #savethereef #savetheworld #workingtogether #greenseaturtle #caymanislands #cayman #ecodivers #scubadiving (at Grand Cayman) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomnDCfFSrl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1trxgp582e5c2

It’s amazing that on this day in 2016 we installed our coral nursery trees. Since then we have successfully grow 1000 stag horn pieces, have currently planted 150 pieces back onto our local reefs, and have over 80 certified volunteers. We are currently teaching 5 more volunteers this moment! I have to say that I’m getting a little emotional with the overwhelming success this program is producing. To all our donators and volunteers this is 100% successful because of your love, passion, and dedication to this program! And thank you! Thank you so much! Also thank you to DOE, Sunset House, and DiveTech for the ongoing support and allowing us to work with alongside with their coral nurseries and making this a success! #internationalyearofthereef #oceanconservation #eco #savereef #coral #coralreef #savethereef #savetheocean #savetheplanet #ocean #diving #padi #projectaware #ecodivers #cayman #islandlife #blueplanet #bluemind #underwater #waterislife #chasingcoral #dive #scubadiving #scuba (at Grand Cayman)
