Ocean After Hours: Intern Community Mixer

Tuesday, September 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in Key Largo.

REEF opens the doors for an evening built around the people doing the science. This Ocean After Hours is an intern community mixer, a chance to network with fellow interns, make new friends, and get the inside scoop on who's working on what in the Florida Keys.

The Keys run on a small army of seasonal interns and research assistants spread across marine labs, conservation nonprofits and dive operations, and they rarely all end up in the same room. This is that room. Light refreshments are provided, and all are welcome.
Ocean After Hours is REEF's weekly Tuesday evening series at 6:00 p.m., with the topic and format changing week to week.

It takes place at the REEF Ocean Exploration Center at 98380 Overseas Highway, in the median at mile marker 98.3 off Bahama Road. The center stays open until 8 p.m. on Tuesdays for the series.
