The ocean is a stunning realm brimming with life and adventure, offering a myriad of activities such as boating, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, surfing, skiing, swimming, and more, cherished by people around the globe.
The Poseidon Memorial Reef, the second underwater memorial project conceived by founder and president Gary Levine, is ecologically designed to create a vibrant reef habitat while also serving as a serene resting place for our loved ones.
For those who revel in ocean watersports or find solace in watching the sun rise or set from the shore, the Poseidon Memorial Reef holds a unique and profound significance.
A Monumental Partnership Announcement from Reef Builders International Corp. and Walter Marine Investments:
Reef Builders International Corp. is the construction wing of Poseidon. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Walter Marine Investments, LLC, as we embark on an innovative journey to establish the Poseidon Memorial Reef.
This collaboration unites two passionate father-son ventures dedicated to creating state-of-the-art artificial reefs that enhance marine habitats and advance conservation efforts.
Our inaugural deployments commenced in August and September off the coast of beautiful Destin Beach, Florida.
Known as the Emerald Coast, the waters off Destin are renowned for incredible marine life, providing an idyllic setting for anglers, divers, and snorkelers alike, with abundant snapper and grouper populations and blue-green waters.
Walter Marine is a leader in artificial reef construction across the U.S., acclaimed for their pioneering designs and steadfast commitment to marine sustainability. The Poseidon Memorial Reef represents a transformative initiative envisioned by Gary Levine, President of Reef Builders International, building on the success of his previous project.
More than just an artificial reef, the Poseidon Memorial Reef serves as a memorial site, a thriving habitat for marine life, and an exciting destination for water sports and marine enthusiasts alike. Together, Reef Builders International and Walter Marine Investments epitomize innovation in this vital field.
We invite you to join us in this groundbreaking endeavor and help create a lasting legacy that honors remembrance, recognition, and respect for both the departed and our oceans. Together, we will shape a beautiful legacy for future generations.
