Miami Reef Builders




Miami Reef Project: Atlantis Reef ImageWe all know that man has contributed to the serious damage of numerous reefs worldwide.

Many reefs that at one time literally teemed with life have been reduced to little more than skeletons by deliberate actions such as blast and cyanide fishing, or inadvertently by overenthusastic individuals who want to take a little reminder of their visit to the reef home with them.

However, not all of man’s actions result in the deterioration of coral reefs and the marine communities they help to support.

Miami’s Reef Builders

The Miami based company, Reef Builders, actively helps to promote reef growth by… making them! Reef Builders has been involved in a number of reef creation projects such as the Atlantis Memorial Reef Project (an artificial reef located 3.25 miles off Key Biscayne in Florida inspired by the Lost City of Atlantis). Reef Builders have recently been commissioned with another reef creation project in Florida: this one is called the Miami Reef Project.

The Miami Reef Project

The Miami Reef Project will be designed not to an artist’s impression of some lost world, but the reef itself will be comprised of the words “Save the Reef”. The words will be built with letters of 200 feet in height across 3,000 feet of Florida’s underwater real estate. The Miami Reef will be approximately 35 feet underwater and will provide over time a home for a multitude of Florida’s marine life. It is hoped that it will also become a huge draw for divers.

The planning and engineering of the Miami Reef Project is truly inspiring as is the passion of Reef Builders team to create a spectacular underwater environment that helps to sustain marine ecosystems.
