Beginning in 1987, Reef Relief has been active for over 28 years. The group began with the simple installation of reef mooring buoys throughout the ocean in Key West. Since then, Reef Relief is responsible for more than 116 buoys, the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the Negril Marine Park in Jamaica, as well as campaigns and policy changes like the Clean Water Campaign and the increased treatment for municipal sewage, ban on phosphate within laundry detergents, and the prevention of off-shore oil drilling in South Florida. Today, Reef Relief looks to add coral reefs to the list of U. S. Endangered Species in order to gain protection at the federal level.
