Testimonial
"Having done some research on sustainable fishing methods, visiting the Opotiki Community Reef site was incredibly interesting. It is an excellent example of what can be done to ensure that fish populations thrive in the future."
Alison M., Hampshire, UK


Testimonial
"Thank you for taking us out on such an awesome fishing trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I am still amazed that we caught so many fish (large snapper, kahawai, gurnard and mackerel) in only 2.5 hours fishing. I have been fishing for many years, but never before have I caught so many quality fish in such a short time."

Leaving a legacy that makes a difference.

With fishing perhaps New Zealand's most popular recreational activity, it may be very fitting to be remembered by your loved ones with the building and dedication of a Memory Reef ©. In other places throughout the World they are often referred to as Memorial Reefs. Memory Reefs can be personalised by placing
the name of your loved one on all BioLinks,
by adding a long lasting ceramic photo tile plaque and even with the inclusion of small personal items (like a USB stick) embedded inside a Time Pyramid.

Please note that REAF Ltd does not include cremation ashes into its concrete as this would be considered culturally inappropriate in Aotearoa and contrary to marine enhancement efforts as we currently understand them.

What greater way of being remembered than having an entire REAF dedicated to you. Your family can get together for fishing trips to your reef. Grandchildren will be encouraged to take an interest in marine life. Fishing stories will grow from your Memory Reef. Far from being a static monument, a Memory Reef is a living entity.

All the standard prices listed on our Internet Orders Page apply. If you are wanting some extra special personalisation effects then please contact REAF and discuss your requirements.

Families sponsoring Memory Reefs are additionally also eligible for

  • up to a weeks free accommodation at the Opotiki Cottage near the Opotiki Wharf and Boat Ramp
  • a free boat trip as REAFs guests to the Community Reef deployment site
  • Personalised Memory Reef Certificates for family members.

This is an ideal way of recognising someone's achievements in life and remembering their passing.
