Neon Reef

Neon Reef examines how a vibrant queer community interweaves with homegrown ocean activism. Against the swaying palms and the electric neon nightlife of Miami's South Beach, unlikely underwater heroes emerge: married couple Patrick Breshike and David Grieser. They suit up in scuba gear, charm politicians, and marshal a diverse coalition of queer coral scientists, women divers, and a Guinness World Record-holding mermaid in a high-stakes fight to save a coral reef from poachers, climate change, and ignorance. This sexy, sun-drenched, sometimes surreal road map charts how a community can pivot toward advocacy along America's Riviera: Miami Beach.
