The organization and other marine groups donated and installed 13 reef balls on the ocean floor off of Delray Beach in Palm Beach County.
The last #reefball has been deployed in the new No Shoes Reefs 4 Reef in the Delray Dredge Underwater Park. This is part of the @palmbeachcnty Reefs system, located 1mile off Delray Beach. Donate to https://t.co/yhG0y7eaIT and note "NoShoesReefs" pic.twitter.com/YPkme9VO0G

Each of the 7-foot-by-6-foot reef balls were dropped earlier this month in the Delray Dredge Hole. The reef is located about a half-mile off the coast of Delray Beach.
It will make up a 32-acre underwater reef park known as No Shoes Reef 4. The reef will provide educational opportunities for students.
