CALIFORNIA SHIPS TO REEFS WORKSHOP ON JUNE 19th
Orange County chapter of the organization is forming!
California Ships to Reefs (CS2R) will be holding a public workshop on June 19th to discuss the formation of an Orange County chapter of the organization which is dedicated to creating artificial reefs for recreational divers along the California Coast.
The workshop will be held from 6-10 p.m. at the at the Ocean Institute, 24200 Dana Point Harbor Drive, Dana Point, CA.
CS2R was founded with the goal of making the Golden State a world-class diving destination. It’s seeking interested community members to help further the goal of providing artificial reefs-formed by sinking environmentally cleaned vessels-that will improve the health of ecosystems along the coast, provide new SCUBA diving and sport fishing resources, and introduce new economic opportunities for local businesses.
People from all walks of life–not just divers or fishermen–are encouraged to attend the workshop and learn about the goals and plans of CS2R.
Help is needed from volunteers with experience in event planning, fundraising, surveys, canvassing businesses for support, speakers, governmental relations, permitting, and veterans relations (primarily Navy/Marines).
During the workshop, information will be provided on the proposed methodology for creating the reefs, and the current status of the organization and its projects. The remainder of the workshop will be devoted to information on how individuals new to the organization can help make the CS2R vision a reality.
Information about specific organization committees is also available on the CS2R website at
