Reel it in for the Reefs is an annual community-wide reef clean-up event sponsored by the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation. This powerful initiative brings South Florida’s scuba diving community together to protect our precious marine resources by removing debris of all kinds from natural and artificial reefs from Stuart through Miami. Though unseen to most, these underwater habitats support the rich array of marine life that helps make south Florida so unique and prosperous, and they need our help! Join us in making a difference!
Dive In to Protect Our Reefs and Turtles
With sea turtle nesting season starting May 1, now is the perfect time to protect their habitat. Join us in preserving our oceans for future generations of sea turtles and marine life.

- Gear Provided: Cleanup bags, line cutters, and all necessary tools included.
Marine debris is a major threat to reef ecosystems, particularly sea turtles. Commonly mistaken for food, ingested plastics and other waste can lead to serious health issues, and entanglement in discarded fishing gear easily causes injuries that limit their ability to swim or feed, or worse, drowning. Join us to help remove these hazards, restore vital ocean ecosystems, and make our reefs safe for sea turtles and all marine creatures!
