🌀 Hurricane Ian reminds us why the Osborne Reef Tire Cleanup is so urgent
Over two million tires were sunk to the bottom of the ocean to create an artificial coral reef in the 1970s. But instead of becoming a refuge for endangered coral, the structure fell apart and loose tires from the Osborne Reef project have been damaging our coral reefs for over 50 years.
Now, powerful ocean currents and intense storms like Hurricane Ian turn these tires into wrecking balls and projectiles that rip through our coral reefs and destroy everything in their path. It’s a reminder that for all the damage you see on the news, there’s still so much more hiding below the ocean’s surface.
By purchasing the Osborne Reef Bracelet, you can help fund this small and scrappy cleanup so we can get more of these tires out of the ocean faster.
