Atlas of artificial reefs in Florida, Fifth edition

Abstract

The Atlas of Artificial Reefs in Florida -- Fifth Edition, provides the public with information to locate artificial reefs constructed for fisheries enhancement, and for the enjoyment of fishing and diving by residents and visitors to Florida's coastal waters. This edition expands on the information that was included in earlier versions by adding thirty-five new permitted sites and 250 additional components deployed on these and many pre-existing sites. A variety of sources of information have been utilized to acquire the most accurate and complete information in order to present the most up-to-date artificial reef listing possible for Florida. With the magnitude of reef construction over the last 30 years there are potential opportunities for inaccurate information, especially with nearly 900 component entries on approximately 364 permitted sites.
