    Thank you to the teachers who joined us for our Corals in the Classroom Workshop. In mid-August, we partnered with the National Aquarium to introduce local teachers to our Coral Reef Ecology Curriculum. Teachers participated in a two-day, hands-on workshop focused on learning about coral biology, the current state of coral reefs, and the threats they are facing. They walked away with a variety of new coral reef resources that they can incorporate into their classrooms. Best wishes to all teachers for a wonderful start to the academic year! ...
