The project involves barging and deploying 2,000 to 3,000 tons of processed concrete construction debris to Fish Haven #1, located approximately 25 miles west of Homosassa in the Gulf of America. The deployment is part of the Florida State Expenditure Plan (FSEP) 13-3 artificial reef program, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit #SAJ-1999-00814 valid through April 18, 2027. The primary objective is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by creating additional reef acreage to support recreational activities.

The project is funded through the FSEP 13-3 program, with the specific goal of enhancing marine habitat and economic opportunities in the Gulf region. The county has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the implementation process for potential bidders. The project represents an opportunity to repurpose concrete construction debris for marine ecosystem enhancement, simultaneously addressing waste management and marine habitat restoration objectives.
