1) Tampa Baywatch is a 501 (c)(3) Florida corporation for environmental stewardship of Tampa Bay estuary with the propose of monitoring, restoring, and protecting the marine and wetland environments of Tampa Bay. They have been approved for a grant from the Reef Ball Foundation for 10 Oyster and Lo-Pro sized Reef Ball molds to build 100-200 Reef Balls over the next year in front of seawalls and under docks in areas devoid of subtidal seagress or other estuarine habitats. They will use schools, scout troops, kids-at-risk programs and other community groups to construct the reef balls for installation primarily in and around northeast St. Petersburg. Tampa Baywatch is supported by the Elizabeth Ordway Dunn Foundation and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Learn more about Tampa Baywatch as www.TampaBayWatch.org

3) There is a bill in Puerto Rico to set aside three per cent of their insular shelf as marine reserves....Reef Ball supports the concept of marine reserves (after careful review of the current science on the subject.)

Have a great day.
