The Foundation published the first book in our “Reefs at Risk Activity & Coloring Book” series. Designed for elementary and middle school students, the book guides learners through interactive activities, thought-provoking questions, and captivating coloring pages.

Through this resource, the foundation aims to educate youth about the challenges facing coral reefs in our rapidly changing world.
