Florida Buddy Ward 2020-2021 Artificial Reef Project

The project consists of the construction and deployment of at least twenty five (25) concrete prefabricated reef modules, or other concrete structures acceptable to the FWC (the “Commission”), all of which must be at least four (4) feet tall with a base diameter of at least six (6) feet, a weight of at least two (2) tons and made with marine grade concrete with a minimum strength of 4,000 psi. Each module is to consist of concrete with no exposed metal framework and designed with multiple openings of various sizes all the way through the outer surface to allow for water circulation and access by fish. Open-bottom pre-fabricated modules may not be used unless each module has a top opening sufficiently large to allow for turtle escapement (additional details are set forth below). The modules shall be deployed so as to construct three (3) reef complexes in the Buddy Ward permit site (specific location is set forth below) offshore of Apalachicola, Florida.
