<DIV class=txtSub>A pair of porkfish and sergeant major fish swim near a section 
of the Neptune Memorial Reef 45 feet under the surface Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 
3.25 miles off the coast of Key Biscayne, Fla. Creators of the reef hope it will 
become a memorial for the dead and a diving site. Instead of a burial funeral, 
people can pay to have their remains placed in one the reef's structures after 
their death. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)</DIV><BR clear=left></DIV>(AP) -- About 45 
feet beneath the ocean's surface lies a cemetery with gates, pathways, plaques 
and even benches. The Neptune Memorial Reef, which opened last fall, is seen by 
its creators as a perfect final resting spot for those who loved the sea. They 
hope that one day the reef will cover 16 acres and have room for 125,000 
remains.<BR></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4012EE3F-2488-41D7-BF9D-B051DEACF4AA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
