LIVE@Frost Science: Lights, Camera, Action to Save Florida’s Coral Reef

Journalists and storytellers play a critical role in educating our community about science and conservation. Personal stories can inspire and unite, showing us how we are all affected by the state of our coral reefs. The media makes these stories—and the underwater worlds off South Florida’s coasts—accessible by bringing them right to our phones, tablets and televisions.

Follow the narrative with WPLG Local 10 News Miami reporter Louis Aguirre for a special ReeFLorida Symposium LIVE@Frost Science on Wednesday, November 13 as he highlights the important role and responsibility local news media has in communicating the climate crisis. Since launching the “Don’t Trash Our Treasure” series on Earth Day 2021, he has produced 14 reports that underscore threats to Florida’s Coral Reef, spotlighting the heroes working tirelessly to save them. Our resilience, food supply, lifestyle, and economies depend on these magnificent natural systems, and we all have a role to play in saving them.

Whether you’re a diver, water enthusiast, coral scientist, or fish hugger, you’ll leave this free lecture feeling motivated to make our South Florida home a better place and restore balance to our natural world.
