CLUB CAPTURES DART DEPLOYMENT

The West Palm Beach Fishing Club, in partnership with Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management Team, has been protecting South Florida's waterways one artificial reef at a time. The Reef Dart program is a reef building effort using repurposed concrete utility poles and culverts that might otherwise end up in area landfills. For four years the club has been installing artificial reefs in hopes of restoring the eco-system. The most recent deployment was captured in a short video, as produced by local company AA Video, highlighting the deployment of 40 Reef Darts in 500’ of water offshore Palm Beach Inlet. This also created the deepest intentionally placed artificial reef in Florida. The program is filling the need to develop a cost-effective program that repurposes readily available material into valuable fish habitat thereby reducing pressure on natural reefs.
