Joint project to map Looe Key
Imagine a self-guided underwater tour - complete with pictures. Looe Key Dive Center is helping to make it happen!
In March, 18 students and staff from the Florida Keys Community College Research Diving Course got real world experience mapping and surveying Looe Key Reef aboard the Kokomo Cat II. Working with a company called Beautiful Oceans, the students collected information that will be used to develop detailed underwater maps of the Looe Key area. When completed, these maps will help divers and snorkelers find their way around the reef, including where to find the most interesting reef creatures. Miami Herald reporter Cammy Clark covered the story - she spent the day on The Kokomo Cat II filming and interviewing. View her video report
