I have received several emails and
seen articles in the Palm Beach Post about it. They were not specific at all as to
where exactly the new reef is. While I doubt it will improve the fishing
immediately, It will improve the fishing in the near future and for
years to come. We need to be sure not to anchor or damage the
reef in any way. I have reached out to the FL Dept. of
Environmental Protection, Coral Reef Conservation Program, to see if
we can get more specific information as to exactly where this reef
is. I have invited them to come speak at our November Meeting. In the mean time
Please don't use the anchor
unless absolutely necessary.

You can view the Summer 2009 Issue of Southeast Florida Reef
News by clicking on the link below. It contains contributions
from six staff members here at the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection Coral Reef Conservation Program and is a
great way to keep up with some of the many projects we are working
on.
