The Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation Reef
The Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation funds the construction of beautiful artificial reef modules that we
donate to the Palm Beach County Artificial Reef Program for placement on sites in the ocean off Jupiter,
Florida. These sites are permitted by the Army Corps of Engineers for artificial reef construction.
The Foundation was created to honor the memory of Andrew Harris who was struck by a boat while
snorkeling in the Jupiter Inlet on June 8, 2014. The foundation's work will help assure the long-term
health and vibrancy of the local marine environment where Andrew loved to dive and fish.
The Foundation's 2015 project is the construction of a new northern Palm Beach County reef built with
forty 6' x 8' x 8' concrete artificial REEF CELL modules at a cost of approximately $120,000.
Our 2016 project will be built with up to 100 modules off Jupiter and Juno Beach.
The unique REEF CELL design, rising eight feet from the sea floor, will create highly functional reef
structures that will quickly begin to look like Bahamian coral heads.
Go to http:/Jandrewredharrisfoundation.org to see pictures, videos, information about the foundation and
it's projects and learn how you can get involved.
The new reefs will be built on offshore sites that are vast underwater sand plains. The Foundation will
continue to build productive new reefs on unproductive sites off the shores of northern Palm Beach
Counry. Our goal is to help the marine habitat keep pace with the increasing pressure on it from a variety
of destructive influences including population growth, climate change, pollution, invasive exotic species
and lack of education on and appreciation for the value of our marine resources.
The communiry will benefit in terms of personal enjoyment and satisfaction in being able to take part in
this effort to help build the strength of the marine environment that is the key to the south Florida
lifestyle. 100% of the funds we raise goes to the construction of new reefs- please pitch in!
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) has stated that artificial reefs divert pressure
from natural reefs while still allowing visitors to enjoy diverse marine life. Because many of these divers,
snorkelers and anglers are eco-tourists who utilize local boat charters, hotels, restaurants and other
amenities, artificial reefs can have a positive impact on local economies. In such an instance, the artificial
reef would be considered a win-win for the economy and the environment.* According to Alan Richardson,
Chair of the Organization for Artificial Reefs based in Tallahassee, FL, he estimated that for every dollar
spent locally on artificial reefs, $138 comes back into [local] communities**.
Please join us as we continue to build artificial reefs to both enhance our environment and honor the
memory of Andrew and everything that was important to him. �p - I l- �S

Pro Forma Budget for Andrew "Red" Harris Foundation Project #2 Summer 2016
The Foundation's second project involves the placement of 100 artificial reef cell modules.
Each module costs $1,400.00 to construct. Transportation of the modules is $800.00 per truck load
and deployment is approximately $450.00 per cell.
100 reef cells @ $1,400.00 ea = $140,000.00
14 truck loads @ $800.00 ea = $11,200.00
100 reef cells deployed @$450.00 ea = $45.000.00
Reef cell cost for Year 2 project $ 196,200.00
Limestone Boulders= $63,900.00
Total Project Cost= $260,100.00
