You&rsquove heard a lot of mermaid stories growing up. Ever wondered if you could become one In Florida, you can fulfil that dream, and help save the reefs while you are at it.
The 1000 Mermaid Artificial Reef Project in West Palm Beach is transforming real people into mermaids with sustainable cement and limestone. These 'mermaids' are then planted underwater on ocean-friendly modules to help replenish dying reefs. As the name suggests, this non-profit organisation plans to sink at least 1,000 mermaids but could end up installing even more based on their success.
