This week, the Reef Relief Environmental Center will celebrate 500 years of ‘Antiquarian Books on Corals and Coral Reefs’. The event is free, and will feature a plethora of books about corals and reefs.
The event will be Friday, July 26th from 4pm – 8pm at the Center at 631 Greene Street, Key West.
Dr. James W. Porter, a coral reef scientist and Nova Southeastern University professor, is on Reef Relief’s Advisory Board and will host the reception. Dr. Porter’s personal collection of books has over 3,000 volumes that date back as early as the 17th century.
The nonprofit organization encourages donations at the event, for its ongoing efforts to protect coral reefs. You can read more about the organization or donate at www.reefrelief.org.
