CCA Burton

Memorial Reef

The Coastal Conservation Association of Florida commissioned Reef Cells to create an artificial reef memorial for Robert Burton, a life long member of CCA.

The Bob Burton Memorial Reef was successfully deployed off the coast of Delray Beach with the family and CCA in attendance. Bob Burton was a CCA Life Member from Palm Beach, Florida and was one of the most active volunteers CCA has ever known. He served on a couple different fisheries management panels and would attend every CCA board meeting and pretty much every CCA statewide event. Everyone that knew Bob knew that “if you fished with him, he would make you join CCA!” In addition to serving as a living memorial for Bob, this reef provides long-term ecosystem services to a wide variety of marine life and it creates sustainable live-bottom habitat where none existed before. The memorial reef was deployed approximately ½ mile off Delray Beach in 65 feet of water and is surrounded by limestone boulders. CCA and Reef Cells extend many thanks to the Palm Beach County Environmental Resource Management Department, McCulley Marine Services, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the many donors for making the project a success.

How our Frag Plugs Work.

New Coral Lok frag plugs are revolutionizing the way living corals are attached to underwater reefs. These coral fasteners can immediately attach a living coral to a coral reef with a simple twist. The screw shaped base of the Coral Lok frag plug is designed to easily and securely mate into the female threaded Coral Lok receiver. The coral is fixed and ready to grow over the plug base and onto the reef rock

Hundreds of Frag Plug Receivers are Pre-Inserted into our Reef Cells, all in strategic locations to maximize coral growth and survivability.

Coral Lok Testing

Scientist at the Centre Scientifique de Monaco are exploring and testing our system to ensure it's viability.
