Dedicated to the protection of Southeast Florida coral reefs.

Cry of the Water is a not for profit organization dedicated to the protection of Southeast Florida coral reefs. Our members and volunteers donate their time and talent to monitor the health of our coral reefs off the coast of Southeast Florida. Cry of the Water first documented the Ft. Lauderdale Staghorn Field in 1999, saving it from a destructive dredge and fill project proposed for the area. Although divers had been diving these reefs since the 1950s Broward County had never documented their existence. Monitoring for destructive projects was conducted on coral poor sites that did not adequately represent nearshore coral cover.
