Welcome to I.CARE!
Check Out Our New Sponge Science Page!
I.CARE is dedicated to restoring hope to Florida’s Coral Reef by empowering the community to be part of the solution. Through hands-on conservation, we engage people of all backgrounds to actively rebuild coral and sponge populations on coral reefs. Recreational divers work alongside scientists to transplant and maintain corals and sponges, directly contributing to the recovery of these critical ecosystems. Non-divers are equally vital to the mission, participating in land-based husbandry, educational programs, and outreach efforts that inspire awareness and stewardship of these critical habitats. With the help of our community, I.CARE transforms passion into action by restoring reefs, strengthening communities, and protecting Florida’s marine ecosystems for generations to come.
