- Abstract:
-
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 February 2019, the FWC Artificial Reef Program reports over 3,300 artificial reef deployment locations state-wide. Artificial Reefs are about evenly divided between state and federal waters and range from 4 feet in depth to 414 feet (average depth 65 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 February 12, 2019.
- Purpose:
-
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.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Please note that reef materials can move, degrade, or become buried over time. This is especially true for metal materials with thicknesses less than ¼” or lightweight materials. Additionally, many reef locations in the database are based on historical data with inherent potential location inaccuracies that may not have been ground-truth since their deployment. If you have updated information regarding the condition or location of an artificial reef please contact the FWC Artificial Reef Database Administrator via email at keith.mille@myfwc.com
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
These data are also known as "Florida Artificial Reef Deployment Database."
Note: if these data are converted to shapefile, null values in number fields will be converted to zero. This will hide any true zero values.
