ABOVE: More than 400 tons of limestone rock were dropped into 65 feet of water by Palm Beach County’s Environmental Resource Management to create a new reef called FWC Rocks 2022. RIGHT: The reef is located about 3,000 feet east of the Seagate Club, adjacent to 13 prefabricated modules called No Shoes Reef 4 that Environmental Resource Management placed in 2020. The exact location is LAT: 26.4528 and LONG: -80.0492. The limestone placement is partially paid for by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Artificial Reef Grant program. ERM to date has deployed more than 110,000 tons of concrete and 140,000 tons of limestone boulders to create artificial reefs. Photos provided
