DFA Dive Flag Awareness. A Success. I don't have a final count on volunteers but I know we covered about 40 ramps. We have had a huge response to the petition sign up. Now what?
1. Please email info@scuba-works with names and emails of people that volunteered. I have the Ramp Coordinators but would like to get a good head count and send everyone a Thank You. This list will become our core staff and will be used to send out future information.
2. We are in contact with an attorney/lobbyist that has shown a willingness to help us get these petitions into a proper format or proclamation to get before the Governor. We have been sending the petitions to the FWC. There may be a conflict since they are with the state. Send all petitions to:
Scuba Works
351 S US HIghway 1
Suite 103
Jupiter,FL 33477
We will get Bob (PA) Chad Carney, Sheri Daye and the Murphys, et al together to direct the Proclamation and officially request a DFA Day.
I have requested an audience with Ken Pruitt, our local State Senator to ask for support.
3. Media - We got good coverage by local media but can do much better next time. Please email any media coverage you got in your market whether it was a newspaper article or TV story. These are very important to show our cause and show support from a broad market. Here are 2 stories from NBC in the South Florida Market
