How Artificial Reefs are Made: More Artificial Reefs Coming Soon Near You

Jeff Weakley heads out of Fort Pierce Inlet to watch an artificial reef deployment on a St. Lucie County reef site

Jeff Weakley heads out of Fort Pierce Inlet to watch the Saint Lucie County Artificial Reef Programs deployment of boulders and construction debris on the Lee Harris Memorial Reef site—one of three new deployments in the area—in an effort to increase habitat for reef-dwelling species like snapper, cobia, kingfish and grouper. In the July issue of Florida Sportsman Magazine, Jeff dives further into the various artificial reef programs around the state, covering ways you can help support these efforts and reap the benefits of the new structures. The issue includes 64 reefs you can explore all around the state with exact coordinates, depth, and relief as well as details on what makes up the structure below each. This is one you don't want to miss if you love reef fishing or diving!
