Individual & Corporate Sponsorships


When the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) was formed in 1997 interested individuals and businesses were eager to help out with improving our fisheries habitat. Many indicated that they would like to contribute more than just a membership fee. The MBARA developed a program to allow those groups to participate by constructing an artificial reef named after themselves or their business entities.
The popularity of the program was enhanced by the income tax deductibility of contributions to 501(c)(3) not for profit corporations. The corporate and individually sponsored artificial reefs are permanently named and publicly promoted as such according to the wishes of those that provide the funding and or materials that enable fisheries enhancement for future generations.

If you or your business are excited about the possiblities of participating in such a valuable program please contact Bob Cox, MBARA President.
