HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – An exciting new step in the creation of an artificial reef in Hollywood unfolded as Sky 10 captured a barge delivering various structures to create the reef on Thursday.
Local 10 News got a view of crews dropping off around 50 structures throughout the afternoon at North Beach Park, including 12 custom-designed reef sculptures.
The city partnered with the Ocean Rescue Alliance to launch the reef project, “Guardians of the Reef.”
It’s the first of its kind snorkel-friendly artificial reef system in South Florida.
Another group of structures to help build the reef will be delivered on Saturday at Harry Berry Park and will then move to Keating Park.
