South Walton Artificial Reef Assn. announcement

[DuneAHH]

SWARA is excited to share the locations of our Phase 1 reef plan! Soon there will be much much more to do on our perfect beaches. Special thanks go out to Coastal Conservation Association Florida, the Alys Foundation, the Howard Group and the Walton County TDC for their generous assistance in making our vision a reality.

Membership and Donation checks may be made out and mailed to South Walton Artificial Reef Association -- P.O. Box 2482, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459. Thank You for joining us in Creating Living Reefs for Generations!

Each near shore Fish /Dive area is typically about .65 of a mile from the mean high water line to the northern boundary of the patch. Each 40 acre patch will have (9) 1-2 acre reef sites with 30+ structures per site. We are shooting for a spring 2015 deployment!!!

SWARA is excited to share the reef module layout designs for each of the 4 snorkel reefs! We hope this will create 4 individually unique and exciting snorkeling experiences. Which reef do you plan to explore first?

The last one is off of Grayton correct?

 

[DuneAHH]

Yes that is correct, the last one is off Grayton Beach State Park. The location is noted at the bottom of each drawing just beneath the Taylor Engineering logo.

These 4 snorkel reef module designs are mapped (little circles) along the coastal sandbar map on post #1.

I think you should place them to spell out "SoWal".

The first map shows two large area reef sites inside State waters off SOWAL. Are these permitted or in the permitting process ? If so there are quite a few folks who would contribute time, money and materials for reefs........ especially if the county can be brought on board to do inspections as is done in our sourrounding counties
Let me know please

30A would be more cost effective.

30A would be more cost effective.

SW would be fine - anything to be unique...
