The two part workshop will conclude at the same place on Saturday, March 28 where the young artists will complete their individual paintings and work on collective canvases.

This student-centered activity is part of the educational component of the "Coral Reef Protection through Marine Debris Removal at Reserva Marina Tres Palmas" funded by NOAA. This is a community driven effort where volunteers, agencies and NGO's, parents, teachers, students, and local businesses all participate together to help protect and educate about our precious coral reefs.

Thanks to all the parents who supported their children's participation in this beautiful initiative.
