@lucamartinez.fl: I've been snorkeling the Florida Keys for 15 years. Nothing could've prepared me for this dive. Captured is "Cheeca Rocks" off of Islandmorada. This long term monitoring site is a legacy reef, one of the most studied, resilient, and highest coral covered reefs in the Florida Keys. I'm fortunate to have been invited by Louis Aguirre and Noaa aoml to film this historic bleaching event. This is happening now.

People don’t realize how precious and important corals are. Please use reef safe sunscreen when going to the ocean. And keep spreading awareness!

But what CAN we do?! The generations that care enough to do something have had their power suppressed. Thank you for your voice.
