Oleta River State Park Plantation High School Reef Ball Project

45  students  in  grades  11  and  12  deploy  artificial  reefs  at  Oleta  River  State  Park  to  help  restore  coral  reefs.  Students  create,  distribute  and  teach  coral  reef  curricula  at  middle  schools  and  local  events.Participants  at  these  outreach  events  construct  reef  balls  for  the  reef.  The  project  infuses  real‐world,  hands ‐on, project ‐based  learning  into  the  existing  curriculum  and  also  allows  students  to  educate  the  public  on  effective  land  and  waterway  management.   Projected  service  hours:  2,400
