 
Why Oculina Bank?
Oculina Bank was named after a coral reef that parallels the Atlantic Shoreline of Florida from Fort Pierce to Cape Canaveral. The reef lies at depths of 200 to 300 feet, and is approximately 15 miles from shore. The reef contains the largest concentration of a beautiful, white tree-like coral named oculina varicosa. The reef became known as the "oculina bank." Discovered by Harbor Branch Oceanographic scientist John Reed in the 1970s, the oculina bank is one of the largest coral reefs in the world.
We are proud to have our name associated with such an important and beautiful natural resource.
