2coolCondos Artificial Reef Funding Site Here is a true grassroots movement by concerned fishermen to provided critical habitat of the fisheries in Texas State Waters!
Kudos to all 2Coolers over at www.2Coolfishing.com
Reef-Man needs your help!
Our first project is to work with Texas Parks
and Wildlife to populate the TPWD reef site, George
Vancouver Liberty Ship Reef BA-336. The Vancouver
Project has the support of and will be coordinated
with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Artificial Reef
Program. Currently, the only structure in this site is
the 400' liberty ship. We have put a plan together to
populate this reef site with about 500 reefs in the
next 24 months. The site will be approximately 1/2
mile x 1/2 mile in size - our intention is to make the
Vancouver site into a substantial habitat area that
will sustain plenty of red snapper and other marine
species.
Imagine having to only go about 10
miles south of the jetties make a snapper run - it
wouldn't be a big investment in time, money, or gas,
and you could be back at the dock before lunch! With
the rising cost of fuel, it is important to provide
habitat within inshore areas, especially inside of
Texas State Waters.
Persons or companies who purchase
reef(s) will have the right to name their reef. We
will provide a state-of-the-art mapping program on
this site which will show the names of the reefs. It's
a great advertising tool for your company, or makes a
great gift for your loved ones. "Hey, let's go fish
YOUR reef Dad!"
We are working with other entities to
obtain the required COE and GLO permits for the Texas
Great Barrier Reef. The Vancouver Project is an
important step in that process, as we are showing that
we have the capabilitiy and commitment to provide the
needed infrastructure to get the job done. There are
substantial startup costs associated with a project of
this magnitude, and we need YOUR help!
Please contact Tom Hilton or Mark
Schweitzer to purchase one or more reefs. COST: $1,000
per reef.
