Sarasota, Florida - March 29, 2004

On June 30, 2003 Eternal Reefs joined with the state of Florida and Manatee County to build a new Memorial Reef for fishing and diving one mile off of Anna Maria Island, Florida. This reef was cast on May 20, 2003 to memorize a number of individuals who have passed away, and includes the remains of twenty-one of those people .

We especially would like to thank the Manatee County Department of Natural Resources - Bob Fluke, and The Flying Fish Fishing Charters.

(Due to difficulties with our camera equipment, we only have pictures of the viewing. We are working with our families to obtain more pictures of the other events. )
