With southwest Florida’s ongoing water woes, there are lots of people working to find ways to improve the water quality in this part of the state. One of those people is David Wolff, he is founder of a nonprofit called Ocean Habitats, Inc.that’s creating and selling mini artificial reefs that are generally installed underneath docks. The basic idea is to create safe habitats for filter feeders like oysters, as well as juvenile fish and crabs, and other marine life, to grow and thrive.
We had him on the show last year after his company installed hundreds of the mini reefs on Marco Island -- but last week he launched what’s being called the “Thousand Reef Challenge” on Fort Myers Beach, so we thought we’d get him back on the line to find out what it’s all about, and how his efforts have progressed.
