Florida installs 1,500 tons of recycled concrete to create three artificial reefs in Gulf waters

The Quick Take

Workers are currently deploying three million pounds of recycled concrete drainage pipes to create artificial reefs on the seabed. This innovative project intends to boost marine habitats for local fish species, enhancing both fishing and diving experiences. Positioned between four and eight nautical miles off East Pass, the varied depths of the sites will facilitate diverse marine life.
