SWARA OFFERS MEMORIAL REEFS TO THE PUBLIC THAT ALLOWS FAMILIES, GROUPS, AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PERSONALIZE AND NAME A COMMEMORATORY REEF. THE REEFS ARE SCIENTIFICALLY ENGINEERED AND CONSTRUCTED WITH MATERIALS PROVEN TO NOT ONLY WITHSTAND THE STRONGEST STORMS, BUT ATTRACT SOME OF THE MOST DIVERSE MARINE SPECIES IN THE GULF. YOUR MEMORIAL REEF WILL CREATE A UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM AND PROVIDE A PERMANENT AND SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL MARINE LIFE. A MARBLE PLAQUE CAN BE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO THE REEF AND THE REEF COORDINATES PUBLISHED ON THE SWARA WEBSITE AND INCORPORATED INTO LOCAL NAUTICAL CHARTS. REEFS ARE DEPLOYED INTO LOCAL GULF WATERS WITHIN SWARA PERMITTED AREAS, WHERE OUR DIVE & RESEARCH TEAM CAN REGULARLY MONITOR AND EVALUATE THE REEFS.
