Dive & Snorkel Group Meeting

Holy Garibaldi!

Have we got a special presentation to finish out summer for us at this month's dive group meeting!

Amber Jackson and Emily Callahan, founders of Blue Latitudes, an environmental/marine sciences consulting firm, will join us to share their project Rigs to Reefs. They work convert decommissioned oil rigs offshore of the California coast into permanent artificial reefs. With support from the likes of world renowned NatGeo ocean explorer, Sylvia Earle, these two women are making serious headway in the preservation of our coastal marine life. Oil rig platforms have come to support significant populations of marine life as artificial reefs and can continue to do so after decommissioning if the correct strategies are put in place. Their work has not gone unnoticed as the two were recently nominated to Forbes 30 Under 30 list!
