As producer and host of Liquid Lounge, an environmentlly-oriented segment heard on WTPS AM1080 in Miami, I am constantly reminded of the problems of the waterside. Since the segment is part of Eddy Edwards’ Caribbean Riddims, the waterside I am paying close attention to is the Caribbean and South Florida. Out of the ‘blue’ came the idea of establishing the BlueGreen Network to promote the positive use of artificial reefs in near-shore, shallow-water projects. The emphasis, I believed, should be on putting ART in ARTificial reefs and providing fish habitat, as well as a recreational dive site.
On May 11th, 2007, Miami Beach City Commissioner Michael Gongora became the first candidate to be endorsed by the BlueGreen Network, an organization focused on near-shore, shallow-water artificial reef development.
If you have one foot in the water and one foot in the sand, you should be part of the BGN.
