“Over the past fifty years our south florida ocean habitat and reefs have been degraded by a variety of destructive influences including population growth, climate change, pollution, invasive exotic species and lack of education on and appreciation for the value of our marine resources. The andrew "red" harris foundation will enhance, augment and, in some cases, replace the natural reefs which are the key element in our local marine habitat. Specially designed concrete structures have been developed to create a more natural artificial reef ecosystem than sunken ships and construction debris provide. These uniquely designed structures will provide a marine life living laboratory for research and educational purposes. The deployment of these structures is being done in partnership with the palm beach county department of environmental resource management, the fish and wildlife commission, the town of jupiter and others. The first 40 structures were placed on the ocean floor in the summer of 2015. An additional 100 unit deployment took place in 2016 and 134 more modules along with 1,000 tons of boulders in 2017. 2018 saw 32 additional coral heads and 2 250 ton boulder reefs depoyed. Successive years will see continued growth in our projects and partnerships to deploy these uniquely designed concrete structures and expand marine life. The artificial reefs we build will provide an opportunity for florida atlantic university, indian river sate university, nova southeastern university, the jupiter community high school environmental academy and other educational institutions to study marine life at a specific site which will be mapped for access for educational purposes. We are working with a local author who has published multiple books featuring andrew "red" harris promoting marine environmentalism to students from kindergarten to 5th grade. During 2018 more than 55,000 books were donated to third grade classrooms around florida. As the reefs develop we will provide maps, videos and photographs of the developing marine growth and various inhabitants of the reef. These maps will be available to the educational institutions, tourism groups, and the general public.”
