Organizations We Have Supported With Our Major Events
The watchdogs of our coral reefs and coastal environment in
southeast Florida. Formed by a group of Palm Beach County divers in
2003, their ranks now include divers and non-divers alike. Southeast
Florida’s reefs are threatened by a host of stressors from coastal
development, agriculture runoff, ocean sewage disposal, siltation
and pollution. By focusing on specific, manageable problems and
backed by sound science Reef Rescue is making a difference. They
have been successful in compelling the regulatory community to
enforce the “Clean Water Act” and other environmental statutes
designed to protect our fragile and vulnerable coral reef
ecosystems. We recommend that you visit their website for more

Reef Rescue Director.

and removes such debris and/or works to eliminate the sources of
debris that have been identified. They also perform a community
service by responding to calls by the local marine law enforcement
units to remove boating hazards from the Intracoastal Waterway in
Palm Beach County. Organized cleanups allow others to participate in
the care of the waters of Palm Beach County nurturing a sense of
pride and ownership.
