Wahoo Bay Overview
Wahoo Bay is located at the Roy L. Rogers Family Park and is open to authorized groups only!
Wahoo Bay aims to raise awareness of the importance of keeping our oceans and reefs healthy while providing a unique, immersive and educational experience both in the water and online.
Coastal communities, like ours, depend on natural barriers, such as, mangroves and coral reefs, to help protect the shoreline and limit the impacts of flooding caused by intense storms and seasonal hurricanes. The cost-effective, environmentally friendly concrete SEAHIVEā¢ structures you see along the seawall were installed within Wahoo Bay to act as a shoreline protection system. These honey-comb structures disperse wave energy helping limit flooding and erosion.
In the shallow protected waters of Wahoo Bay, a unique underwater experience is being created by these SEAHIVES, which attract, preserve and enhance existing natural resources. Additions of locally-created environmentally friendly interactive art, live lab experiments and educational displays allows you to explore under the waves without even getting wet. Combined with our online educational portal, visitors locally and abroad will be able to "dive in" and explore using all five senses. No matter your age or ability, you'll be able to explore the importance of our oceans and the marine life that call them home. Community scientists like you will be pivotal to helping protect this space so that other communities can see the benefits of protecting their shorelines.
