Did you know that Okaloosa County has one of the most active artificial reef programs in Florida?! This is in large part thanks to the natural resources team at Visit Destin-Fort Walton Beach. Without them, ECRA and events like the second annual would not be possible.

You can support us too - register now at ecreef.org/tournament! We can't guarantee your catch but we can guarantee a good time for a good cause 😎
