ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. - Thousands of sea creatures will soon find a new habitat to call home about 10 miles off Florida’s coast.

The Voici Bernadette was loaded up with 200 tons, or 400,000 pounds, of concrete donated by OUC.

The 180-foot cargo freighter was towed off-shore in St. Lucie County and sunk to create a new habitat and refuge for marine life.
