Artificial reefs are man-made habitats that serve to increase reef fish habitat and enhance fishing and diving opportunities. These man-made habitats vary from reef to reef. Some reefs are composed of concrete reef balls of varying sizes, bridge rubble, and old boats and retired military hardware (cleaned in accordance with Florida law). Once deployed, marine life starts colonizing the new habitat. As the reef ages and gets encrusted with algae, barnacles, and corals;small fish also colonize the reef, thus attracting larger predatory fish such as grouper and amberjack. Unlike most Boating and Angling Guides, the Boating and Angling Guide to Nassau and Duval Counties does not show any artificial reefs. The reefs are found further offshore than what is shown on the map. For a complete listing of artificial reefs in this areas, as well as the rest of Florida, visit FWC's Division of Marine Fisheries Management, Artificial Reef Program.
