Our Mission
Casa Costera's goal is to work towards a more sustainable future so that future generations can enjoy the same beautiful coastlines we do. Keeping our energy close to home, we partnered with the Sarasota Bay Estuarine Program and Reef Creations to help fund the creation and deployment of Artificial Reefs across the Gulf Coast. 1% of each purchase goes toward maintaining and protecting coastlines. Our first reef was deployed in early 2026 off the coast of Sarasota.
Before that, we deployed over 50 Vertical Oyster Gardens in 2024 with your support.
In 2026 and beyond, we will work with ISER Caribe as a sponsor to help fund the Caribbean Reef Project in Puerto Rico.
CARRIBEAN REEF PROJECT
The Caribbean Reef Project is a collaborative initiative led by ISER Caribe in partnership with organizations throughout the Caribbean. The project aims to restore five acres of coral reefs around Puerto Rico. Going forward, this is where your purchase is going. Restoring both the habitat and the organisms that call Puerto Rico’s reefs home.
Reef balls
A reef ball is a designed artificial reef module which mimics the structure and function of a natural reef. Made with special concrete additives, Reef Ball concrete, with a pH similar to that of seawater, ensures compatibility with marine environments and enhances its attractiveness to colonizing organisms. Hollow interior spaces provide habitat and shelter for marine species, and the addition of coral plugs enables rapid coral growth and the rescue of corals damaged by storms, dredging, etc. In 2025, we used the funds raised by your purchases to deploy an artificial reef in Sarasota Bay.
