Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival advocates coral reef protection

 

The Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival is an annual event held in the Florida Keys that advocates for the protection of coral reefs. The festival combines art, music, and environmental awareness to promote the preservation of the beautiful and delicate coral reef ecosystem.

During the festival, participants don snorkeling gear and descend into the crystal-clear waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Underwater speakers are strategically placed along the reef, broadcasting a specially curated playlist of marine-themed songs.

The unique aspect of the festival is that the music is not only enjoyed by the human participants but also by the marine life inhabiting the coral reef. The festival aims to engage people in a fun and interactive way while raising awareness about the importance of coral reef conservation.
