Artificial reefs
19 in Lee County
|
Lee County
has had an active artificial reef program since the early
1990's. County staff actively pursue grants from state, federal,
and private sources in an effort to create new artificial
reefs. Artificial reefs created by Lee County must not only
attract and hold fish that recreational fisherman enjoy
catching, but must also create viable, long-lasting marine
habitat that complement the natural ledges and outcroppings that
are occasionally seen off Lee County's coast. Artificial reefs
in Lee County waters will continue to provide diverse fishing
pleasure for many years to come. Shown below are the 19
artificial reef sites in Lee County offshore and inshore waters.
Click on the reef and you will be taken to a separate page that
has an Adobe .pdf map showing the different depositions of
material that fall within the site.
Lee County also has
a working Reef Plan document which details the history, planning
and management of all County reef sites.
