Description
Description | Monroe County completed its first artificial reef in a new grant-funded program by deploying concrete power poles at the Gulfside 10-Mile Artificial Reef site, 10 miles off Key West in federal waters. The project involved stacking concrete poles in perpendicular layers to create habitat spaces for marine life, forming reefs ranging from 6 to 12 feet high and about 65 feet in diameter at depths of 40 to 45 feet. The reef aims to provide new fishing and diving opportunities, serve as waypoints for migrating marine life, and reduce pressure on natural reefs. |
