Diving Offshore of the Jupiter Inlet

The Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2021 artificial reef project is progressing and the deployment of the first of five 500-ton barge loads of huge 8' long concrete culverts offshore of Jupiter Inlet. This year's project benefits from a donation of 2500 culverts valued at $450,000 to the Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation of Jupiter.

The trails will be built at an intensity of one 8' 18-24" inside diameter culvert per foot, so there will be huge habitat created on the trails as well!  The ocean current will quickly interact with the culverts and scour off the thin sand layer that covers the ancient sub bottom ridge of travertine-like bedrock our site is located on top of re-exposing the natural rock between our culverts and limestone boulders. Life will quickly return to the re-exposed rock ocean floor. Ultimately recreating the thriving reef that existed on the site centuries ago.
