 July
2008: Gary Levine,
who built the first phase of the most
unusual reef in the world -
www.nmreef.com - in the Key Biscayne Special Management Zone
(about 5 miles southeast of Miami Beach)
has received approval to build another one. SAVE THE REEFS will be
the manmade reef with a message. It will, in fact, 'speak' for the
fish.
 Sue Cocking, the Miami Herald's outdoor writer
announced the project in the 4 May 2008 edition of the paper in her
story 'Art
coming to ocean floor.' Click the images to enlarge in a
separate window.
There will be 3000 stacks of reef
material, similar to records stacked on a spindle (for those of you
who remember record players), with more than 13,000 700-lb
'circles of life.'
 Listen to
my internet radio program, Liquid Lounge -
www.blogtalkradio.com/kenenglish on Wednesday at 1 PM EST for a weekly
progress report. Gary will be discussing the process,
while Carl Olsen will talk about the non-profit organization Coral
Reefs 101.
The International Year of the Reef -
www.iyor.org - and the Coral Reef Symposium
are also part of the show. A new segment is dedicated to the EcoArt
Gallery by the Sea project initiated by the Environmental Coalition
of Miami Beach - www.ECOMB.org/ecoart.html.

posted as to events in the water along Miami Beach.
