Reef Fest

Pillar coral
REEF FEST: Giving a voice to our environment! Featured above is a Pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus), one of the many coral species found in the USVI that has been negatively impacted by the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD).
Reef Fest is an annual event coordinated by various organizations such as the Virgin Islands Marine Advisory Service, the Virgin Islands Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, the Department of Planning and Natural Resources and Blue Flag USVI with the goal to raise environmental education and awareness within the Virgin Islands community. Businesses, non-profits, and governmental agencies who have an environmental focus are encouraged to participate as an exhibitor where they can engage the public through fun, interactive demonstrations and disseminate relevant information to attendees.

While there will not be a formal Reef Fest for 2023, our team is currently partnering with The PangeaSeed Foundation for the St. Thomas Sea Walls mural activation which will be conducted from January 23-28, 2023.
