Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

TO CREATE A SERIES OF NEAR-SHORE ARTIFICIAL REEF SYSTEMS ALONG WALTON COUNTY'S GULF OF MEXICO COASTLINE AND EASTERN CHOCTAWHATCHEE BAY WATERS. THESE REEFS WILL COMBINE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS UNIQUE COASTAL ENVIRONMENT WITH THE COUNTY'S PRIMARY ECONOMIC ENGINE-- TOURISM. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOY 58 ARTIFICIAL REEF MODULES IN GRAYTON BEACH SNORKEL PERMIT SITE FOR BENEFIT OF MARINE LIFE, RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.


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.
