Charles Fennell Gonzalez IV Casino Beach Reef Being Deployed this Morning at Pensacola Beach!


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!
