WHO WE ARE
Our Roots
If you want to make a difference in the reefs in Okaloosa County and be part of a local team, join us.
Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment we started our work in 2004, we understood that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch ECRA. We strive to make a positive change in all of our pursuits.
