Nearshore Reef Coordinates
Alabama Marine Resources Division (AMRD) administers the artificial reef program for the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. AMRD has deployed and constructed nearly 2000 artificial reefs, ranging from inshore public fishing reefs to the Rigs-to-Reefs (which converts retiring oil and gas platforms into permanent artificial fishing reefs) program in the Gulf of Mexico. The file provides information pertinent to the artificial reefs including name, location, date deployed/created, reef zone, materials comprising the reef, etc... AMRD updates this reef as new artificial reefs are deployed within their area of influence..
