This data set is for display purposes only. Do not use it for navigation. Each point location is intended to represent a single deployment event, defined as either different location coordinates or the same coordinates but on different days. It is important to note that DMF has not independently confirmed most of the reef locations and this data had been supplied form various sources without verification. |

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p style='font-size:16ptmargin:0 0 0 0;'><span>Encompassing 34 of 35 different coastal counties spread along 1,357 miles of ocean fronting coastline, Florida manages one of the most diverse, and most active artificial reef programs in the United States. As of May 2025, the FWC Artificial Reef Program reports over 4,442 artificial reef deployment locations state-wide. Artificial Reefs are about evenly divided between state and federal waters and range from 1 feet in depth to 511 feet (average depth 68 feet). Each point in this GIS data set represents a single deployment event (either a uniquely located artificial reef or deployments of the same reef on different days). Division of Marine Fisheries Management maintains and updates the source database. This data set represents deployments through May 1, 2025.</span></p><p style='font-size:16ptmargin:0 0 0 0;'><span /></p><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span /></p><p><span /></p></div></div></div> |
