Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.”
I’ve been a very busy fox this past week. I had an interview with a company called GeoBeats about how amazing I am. Mom had her own interview with “The Independent,” which is a United Kingdom-based online news company.
I’ve been teaching Kai the fox how to scream early in the mornings. I have a lot on my plate, as you can see. Mom has been working a lot the past two weeks, which means she has left me in charge, or at least that is what I assume. So, I have been coordinating nap time with the foxes. Everyone gets their own assigned spot, but I get to pick my favorite spot, of course. Believe it or not, Kai and I sleep peacefully under the bed and things are really working out well around here.
There is a host of events coming up. On Friday, Sept. 16, join Rainbow Reef for a fish survey trip. Scientists, researchers and conservation organizations rely on data regarding where different species of fish are thriving and where invasive species are having a negative impact. This enables them to study different fish species and to offer advice about where humans are having a major impact and what can be done about it. Unfortunately, there are far too few scientists to constantly monitor and survey these fish. Rainbow Reef has partnered with the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), which has generated one of the largest marine life databases in the world. Through the Volunteer Fish Survey Project, REEF educates recreational divers on how to properly survey for fish on each of their dives. They can then contribute this information on numbers and species of fish to the database used by scientists and researchers world-wide. Call to reserve your spot at 305-451-7171.
A scavenger hunt is happening on Saturday, Sept. 17 down in Islamorada at the Florida Keys Brewing Company (FKBC). The cost is $10 per person and all proceeds will go to the Good Health Clinic and the Keys History & Discovery Center. Teams of up to four people are allowed. There will be over 100 items to be found on Upper Matecumbe. You can bike or walk and all items will be found on the ocean side from Whale Harbor to Midway Cafe, so there will be no need to cross U.S. 1. Teams will start and finish at FKBC anytime between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., and you can sign up anytime in the tasting room. Winners will be announced at 6 p.m.
Anywho, that’s all for this week. Check us out and keep up with our social media by visiting pawsitivebeginnings.org. Until next time, Reef, over and out!
