01What it does

What Ocean Habitats Inc does

Mission

Ocean Habitats is a charity whose mission is to help bring coastal waters to life using an artificial reef structure it has invented.

As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.

Program

In 2017 Ocean Habitats, Inc was able to place 268 mini reefs in the coastal waters of Florida. Combined these units will help 80,400 native fish and 53,600 native crabs grow up in canal systems located in Florida's coastal cities. These Mini Reefs will also clean and filter over 8 million gallons of seawater everyday.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $230 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
