Our Mission
Coastal Fish Preservation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to marine conservation by restoring and preserving marine ecosystems through the construction and deployment of artificial reefs—often referred to as 'fish hotels'—in at-risk coastal communities. We engage in education, foster community partnerships, and mobilize resources to ensure marine life thrives while supporting the local communities and industries that rely on healthy oceans.
About Us
Coastal Fish Preservation was founded on the belief that strong marine ecosystems are the foundation for healthy coastlines, thriving wildlife, and sustainable recreational fishing. Our work begins in Florida and the Caribbean, but our mission is global: to protect the oceans one reef at a time through the use of artificial reefs. By combining science, education, and community action, we’re fostering marine conservation efforts that benefit both fish and coastal communities, ultimately building a better underwater future for all.
Our Purpose
Coastal Fish Preservation is dedicated to marine conservation efforts aimed at restoring marine ecosystems and supporting sustainable coastal communities. We deploy artificial reefs—often referred to as 'fish hotels'—to enhance marine biodiversity, boost declining fish populations, and protect coral life.
Additionally, we collaborate with like-minded organizations both locally and globally. Our initiatives start in Florida and the Caribbean, with a vision to expand our impact on coastal communities around the world.

Who we serve
Why it matters
Who we serve
Coastal communities affected by marine degradation are increasingly turning to artificial reefs as a solution. Environmental and youth education programs play a vital role in raising awareness about marine conservation. Marine conservation advocates and volunteers work tirelessly alongside recreational and sport fishing enthusiasts who value sustainable fisheries. Together with donors, vessel owners, and sustainability-minded businesses, these groups strive to protect and restore our marine environments.
What we do
Why it matters
Who we serve
Build (or Source) & Deploy Artificial Reefs: Our eco-friendly reef modules are designed as safe, sustainable 'fish hotels' that enhance marine conservation. These habitats can be strategically placed under docks and in barren canals, allowing fish life to flourish in overlooked or degraded areas, ultimately benefiting coastal communities. Educate & Inspire: We conduct workshops, school programs, and provide materials focused on marine conservation and stewardship to raise awareness. Fund, Add & Partner: We actively build new artificial reef structures, fund restoration efforts, and collaborate with foundations and agencies that share our mission. Collaborate for Impact: Whether you’re a passionate fisherman, diver, boat owner, or environmental advocate, there’s a place for you in this movement to support marine conservation.
Why it matters
Why it matters
Why it matters
Coral reefs and natural habitats are disappearing at an alarming rate, posing a significant threat to marine conservation. Fish need structured, safe environments to shelter, spawn, and feed, which is where artificial reefs play a crucial role. These man-made structures help restore balance and rebuild fish populations, contributing to the health of marine ecosystems. Thriving marine ecosystems not only support recreational fishing and tourism but also bolster the livelihoods of coastal communities.
