Skyway pier demolition to benefit Manatee's Three Mile North Reef

Skyway pier demolition to benefit Manatee's Three Mile North Reef

Manatee County, Florida – Crews working to demolish portions of the Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier will deliver and submerge 70,000 tons of artificial reef material off the Anna Maria Island coast early as Monday, July 18. Boaters and fishermen are advised to avoid the Three Mile North Reef area during construction which could last until February.

The project will significantly upgrade the Three Mile North Reef, a 26-acre artificial reef located three miles west of the northern shores of Anna Maria Island. The work is being done at no cost to the County in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation’s $2.2 million project to demolish portions of the Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier.

Manatee County Natural Resources officials who helped negotiate the transfer of the materials, said expanding the reef could have significant economic and recreational benefits, in addition to improving the marine environment. A recent University of Florida study on artificial reefs showed that Manatee County's eight near-shore and five offshore artificial reefs return more than $23 million dollars annually to Manatee County in reef-related expenditures.
