The reef has always been a passion of mine. With its teeming life and intricate dynamics, I find it the most fascinating ecosystem on this planet. As a "real-life" mermaid and the Nursery Programs Manager at Coral Restoration Foundation, I have the privilege to help restore our critically endangered coral reefs in the Florida Keys, encounter some really amazing things, and work alongside some pretty awesome people. I seek to share my stories and experiences with you and bring awareness to coral conservation.
