Welcome to a directory of Fort Myers Reefs
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.
What's new with Lee County reefs (7/05)
Update: On 6/28/05, we deployed 28 Juvenile Fish
Refuge Habitats at the Pace's Place reef. These units
were placed around the perimeters of existing
deployments.
On
6/17/05, we deployed bridge rubble at Blanda's reef.
Coordinates will be updated soon.
