Named for our beloved employee Charlie Gonzalez who passed away unexpectedly (and far too young) earlier this year--the memorial reef the BCC dedicated in his honor is being deployed today at Pensacola Beach.
Originally planned for a deployment last week--a contractor's equipment malfunction created the delay.
Once fully deployed at a depth of around 11 feet (with a clearance of 6' from the top of the reef to the surface of the water), the reef will be a magnet for fish and sea life as well as a wonderful addition to Casino Beach for snorkelers and swimmers!
