Florida Limestone Reef
Reinforced concrete artificial reef with embedded natural Florida limestone, approximately 6,000 pounds with a 10-foot footprint.
Description
The Florida Limestone Reef combines reinforced marine-grade concrete with Florida limestone rock embedded in its surface using a patented process, to better replicate the pH and texture of a natural reef and promote colonization. The first unit was deployed in 2007 after three years of development and testing.
Key features
- Patented limestone integration process
- 6,000-pound structure engineered for storm events, strong currents and surge in the Gulf of Mexico
- 10-foot footprint helps prevent settling and scouring
- Embedded limestone increases surface area and structural complexity
Applications
Offshore artificial reef programs seeking fish habitat and biodiversity in the Gulf of Mexico.
