Don’t forget to use care around corals and other marine life as well. You can visit FLCoralCrew.com to join the FL Coral Crew and learn more about coral-safe diving practices and how you can help.

If bully netting this season, please keep lights directed toward the water and avoid shining them at houses or people along the shoreline. Please also be considerate of others by keeping sound levels low when near shoreline residences.
