LIVE EXPLORATION OF GRAY’S REEF
MAY 10, 2017, 10:00 a.m. EDT
We are partnering with Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) for a “Live Exploration” that will unfold the wonders of the sanctuary in an extraordinary livestreaming event targeted toward elementary and middle school students. Working with experts from GPB’s education division and the University of Georgia, Gray’s Reef’s Superintendent Sarah Fangman will take students on a virtual dive so they can explore the reef without getting wet! The virtual expedition will include underwater surgery on a fish to insert a tagging transmitter and beautiful views of the vibrant and abundant marine life found at Gray’s Reef. Students will learn how Gray’s Reef was formed, how the seafloor serves as a habitat and how they can help protect the reef from major threats.

The Live Exploration will be available on demand after May 10 with supplemental classroom resources for grades K-12. Please tell your friends and coworkers about this opportunity; teachers all over America are welcome to participate!
