New Artificial Reef Locations Florida manages one of the most diverse, and most active artificial reef programs in the United States. As of May 2017, the FWC Artificial Reef Program reports over 3,200 artificial reef deployment locations state-wide.

For most species, Florida’s recreational bag limits apply to all state waters off Florida, which extend out to 3 nautical miles on the Atlantic and out to 9 nautical miles on the Gulf. The maps below provide information regarding three species that have specific management zones where bag limits or rules vary by region. Great barracuda (map not included) also has a new bag limit of two fish per person and six per vessel that applies within all state and federal waters off Collier, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties. Barracuda is not specifically regulated in other areas.
