Bahamas Reef Environment Education Foundation (BREEF) kicked off their ‘sun’sational summer at sea with its ‘Learn-to-Snorkel’ BREEF members event on Saturday, 18th June. 2016. Both novice and experienced snorkelers explored shallow waters near ‘The Caves’ West Bay Street, Nassau, to identify reef fish and other sea critters. Sponsors included the Moore Bahamas Foundation, RBC volunteers, Tent-the-Event and C.A. Christie Real Estate.

Casuarina McKinney-Lambert, BREEF Executive Director said that the event is one of benefits that the annual $20 membership includes.

“Over the course of the afternoon event, we had about 50 people of various ages and skills; it was lots of fun and we will have a few more events for our members and children over the coming months, including the Nassau BREEF Sea Camp starting on the 27th June. One of our messages is to always enjoy the magnificent marine environment, but to remember to swim responsibly - drink plenty of water, wear coral-safe sunscreen, always swim with a buddy, stay alert for water craft and take your trash home!”
