Ocean Access For People Of All Mobility in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea
Goal: Have the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea provide a beach/ocean-accessible wheelchair for individuals with different mobility levels to enjoy water activities.
The Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea (LBTS) is known for its tourism, and beautiful shoreline, but especially for its nearshore coral and hard bottom reefs.
Considered the best beach diving/snorkeling spot in Florida, divers from all around travel to enjoy the underwater environment without the restrictions of owning or chatering a boat.
The Broward Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation partnering with Thresher Aquatics, seeks to create a more inclusive community by having LBTS provide a ocean accessible beach wheelchair for individuals with different mobilities to enjoy SCUBA and other water activities.
