Artificial Reef Locations Escambia County

You might be surprised what's being deployed off your coast and just how fishy it already is.


 















 

Of note, Escambia County continues to deploy tons of concrete bridge rubble and material at their Nearshore East reef site. The nearshore waters range in depth from 40 to 60 feet. We highlighted the general area in the article, but with so many sites, we didn't have room to list them all. Below is the complete list of sites just from 2009-2010.
