- For the first time in 4ocean history, we’re taking our crews below the ocean’s surface to recover tires from Osborne Reef, a failed artificial reef project containing millions of tires off the coast of Florida.
After months of research, relationship building, and a lengthy permitting process, 4ocean was finally granted the licenses and permits required to recover tires that have migrated away from the Osborne Reef drop site.
Our designated cleanup area spans 34 acres of seabed just north of the original drop site where loose tires have migrated. Our crews are currently using existing resources to recover tires as they survey the area, document tire distribution, and develop a detailed cleanup strategy.
To represent this monumental mission, we've designed The Osborne Reef Bracelet, which is made with verified tire crumb that our crews recovered directly from the Osborne Reef.

Recovery time.

most tires are reground and added to asphalt
Hi 4 ocean I’m Tiffany one of your best fans I hove a speech I want to say “hi 4 ocean 🌊 I wish one day I could meat you and your team”that is the End 👋!
Thanks for being by our side in this fight to end ocean pollution!
What specifically do you do with the tires? There are so many!
A portion of the tires we recover are being used to make our new Osborne Reef Bracelets. However, the condition of the tires we’re recovering makes them difficult to recycle using the equipment we have. For now, tires that can’t be recycled are sent to the Solid Waste Authority in Florida, the most advanced, efficient, and lowest-emission waste management facility in the U.S. There, our waste tires will be converted into energy that powers thousands of homes & businesses in our local community

Your organization is doing a wonderful job cleaning and caring for the marine environment, however, (if you haven't done so already), you, or better yet, we, should stop the sources from polluting so no cleanup is necessary. At least be able to reduce the cleaning effort. But keep up the good work. It's better to actually do something like you are than do nothing and just talk about it.
We happy to make an impact however we can and we do our best to spread education and awareness on switching to reusable options. Learn more about our support for the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act here: 4ocean.com/breakfree

❤❤❤🎉🎉
You know what the ocean could use more of...? Tires... Rubber tires...
two millions just icing on the amount of tires the ocean could hold...
Around how many tires are you trying to Pull up each day?
As many as we can! So far, we've cleaned up over 200 tires and we're just getting started. 💪
Will you have any clean ups soon
Hey there, are you referring to our Community Volunteer Clenaup events?
How many tires are there in the Osborn reef
Over two million used tires were dumped in the Osborne Reef.
Who put it in there in the first place?
These tires were part of a failed artificial reef project called the Osborne Reef. When it was created in the 1970s, it was believed that the tire reef would encourage new coral growth, attract more big game fish, improve biodiversity, and benefit the local economy. You can learn more about the reef and all we’re doing to help out on our website here: www.4ocean.com/pages/osborne-reef
I remember that. My dad was with the Army Corp Of Engineers. And from Amsterdam to Zimbabwe had really good plans for reusable energies like solar, hydro and bio digester for methane gas to power generators. He said we need to stop depending on oil so much. A day will come when diesel will be more expensive then gas. And somebody better start recycling all this plastic. We knew we'd get 3 things back. Fuel, gas and carbon. Oh that and the deforestation of the rain forest. Its just as easy to plant and wait then to first cut down. Just to keep cutting down and not replanting trees. We have more then enough open land to grow enough food for all. Instead of paying farmers bot grow. Or change what has worked for thousands of year just to have it shipped in. Who's in charge. You better start doing something. This goes back to Truman.
Honest.
Now recover the old WW2 , civilian and commercial
wrecked planes and boats pieces with bigger lift balloons .
If they know who, Osborne reef dumped the tires, they should fund this historic cleanup, and fined, duh
I guess youe not better then they.
I actually stopped loving my kids too.
Accept your fate too.
Sometimes I ask God to make them love me. He gave the answer. No.
Bracelets? Which will end up in the ocean smaller and potentially more harmful. Please no bracelets!
Another reason the automobile economy is soooooooSTUPID from the start of it.
These tires were dumped there by dumb environmentalists. Now those same asshats want you to pay to clean it up. This is why people distrust the environmentalists on climate change.
This is nothing but a scam they’re trying to sell bracelets. I’ve contacted him multiple times to offer assistance on this project. I’m a savage master with over 30 years experience and I haven’t received a phone call.
