Beach Snorkel in Dania Beach

Pre-registration required on Sierra Club website.
May be postponed based on forecasts.
Back in the 60s, the Erosion Prevention District heaped large concrete "jacks" underwater, in lengthy lines, in an attempt to keep sand from eroding from the beaches. It didn't work, but the result is that we have another artificial reef to explore.
Dania Beach is nice to visit if you want to get away from crowds. In this park, there are no buildings and no city hubbub by the shore.
There's lot's of underwater life along the crusty, 1300-foot concrete reef, and it terminates at some natural limestone ledges. We will likely see porcupine fish, lobster, giant angel fish, and nurse sharks. And possibly some cuddly remoras. 🙄 There's a story there.
We'll meet at parking for the pier.
Stats: A 100-yard swim, and then we glide along the erojacks. Depth ranges from 10-25 feet.

Strong, independent swimming skills REQUIRED. Must bring snorkel fins, snorkel mask, waterproof bag.

Sierra Club Florida will be hitting the streets with Save Our Shores / Save Our Species (endangered species, that is) sign-waving events across the state that day. This will be our own SOS addition (waving from the waves!) to a gulf-wide day of action to celebrate Endangered Species Day (May 15th) and to respond to the Trump Administration's double-whammy threats (the attack on the Endangered Species Act and the proposed offshore drilling expansion) to our gulf and oceans.
