Escambia and Santa Rosa counties need your help to get five current reef permits through the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) permitting process and stop short changing our environment and economy.

Here's an EASY way for you to help. 

1. Read the posted letter below.

2. Print it (attached document) out and sign it. 

3. Mail or drop it off to one of the convenient locations listed below before Sunday November 2nd. 

Mail or drop off to 
RFRA 
1007 West Pine St. 
Pensacola, FL 32501

 
Additional convenient drop off locations:
* Any area West Marine location
* Zaxby's Restaurant on Creighton in Pensacola
* Zaxby's Restaurant on Hwy 98 in Gulf Breeze
* Edgewater Marine @ Bahia Mar Marina (1901 Cypress St. Pensacola)
* MBT Divers (3920 Barancas Ave Pensacola)

The documents will be gathered and copies hand delivered to both the Escambia County Board of Commissioners (at the next BOC meeting) and to Jeff Miller via his local office.   Your help and support is appreciated!!

Each day without  these in shore & near shore reef permits is another day of missed opportunities.  Support the fishery and the local economy  -  it's easy.

Only a couple of days left.  This weekend is a great time to drop by the RFRA house and sign a letter or just drop by Zaxby's, West Marine or MBT divers.

One more day....Keep those letters coming.  I'll be collecting them from Zaxby's and the West Marine near University Mall on Sunday afternoon and Bobby will be picking them up from the westaide West Marine, Emerald Coast Marine and MBT Divers on Monday.  If you haven't gotten by yet....please make an effort to sign a letter and drop it by.  There's an envelope on the door of the RFRA house if you are over that way also.

There will be one final pickup of letters - 3:30 PM at the RFRA Headquaters on Pine St.   After which we'll be bundling them up for delivery to Jeff Miller and to the Escambia County BOCC  in support of thier resolution to request moving ACOE jurisdiction to Mobile

Thanks to everyone that helped by signing letters. 

We met with Jim Miller's staffer that deals with ACOE affairs, expressed our concerns and delivered 479 signed letters. We had several more come in after the meeting so over 500 were provided to the Escambia County Board of Commisioners in support of their resolution last night.

The congressman's staffer is preparing a summary for him and will be inquire with the ACOE on behalf of the RFRA. 

The Escambia BOCC  voted unanimously to pass the resolution requesting a move to the Mobile district ACOE office from the Jacksonville office last night also.
