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 of this project is to restore and revitalize the Gulf Economy by creating additional reef acreage to support recreational activities. The County has already secured the necessary environmental permits, which simplifies the implementation process. The concrete debris will be used to enhance marine habitat and potentially create new opportunities for fishing and marine ecosystem development. While specific pricing details are not provided in the available documentation, the project is funded through the FSEP and aims to contribute to local economic and environmental sustainability efforts in the region.
