Lets get more wrecks

[Tienuts]

I just took 5 minutes and sent all of these people emails expressing my support for these bills. Yes, this has been posted here before, but it didn't seem to get much attention.

Florida House and Senate committees are now considering creation of a trust to provide state matching funds for coastal communities to sink large ex-military ships as artificial reefs. If you are a fan of wreck diving please contact the legislators listed below by phone or email NOW to express your support for this legislation. (Links to both bills FL HB759and FL SB 1856) Your support is CRUCIAL. When passed we will all have more great shipwrecks to dive in Florida. This is good for the environment and good for diving. All state legislators in Florida can help. The first of several committees to hear the legislation meet this week and are listed below. Please contact them and voice your support NOW!
