More than 20 homeowners have signed on to place mini reefs under their docks to filter water and support marine life.
Siesta Key residents are starting an effort to clean out Grand Canal, which, since its opening in 1925, has faced murky waters, fish kills and sewage spills.
Members of the Siesta Key Association began a pilot program that asks homeowners who live along the canal to install mini reefs under their docks to help  attract marine life that would naturally filter and add oxygen to the water.
The Grand Canal covers 89 acres over 9 miles, and members of SKA hope to eventually have reefs installed throughout. For now, though, they are focusing efforts near the opening of the canal in Siesta Key Circle.
