Half sculpture park, half restoration nursery. Founded by the 1000 Mermaids project to cast volunteers as reef substrate, each figure is a life mould of a real person, planted with nursery-grown coral. Multiple deployments since 2019 across Palm Beach and Broward. Anchorage: Offshore; dive-boat access from Riviera Beach. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally. Plus
