Information on the USACE permitted Bay County Florida offshore artificial reef sites.

There was some recent debate locally about the management and recording of artificial reefs located within the USACE - Bay County leased sites.

Here are some links to the news stories:

Here is a copy of the site management plan submitted and approved by the Bay County Commission 5 Feb 2008

In summary; future deployments of artificial reef material will require pre-deployment inspection of material, pre-deployment inspection of site, post deployment inspection / recording of site, and submittal of coordinates to the Bay County Planning Office.

RME-Diver is available for consultation, permit submittal, pre and post deployment inspection.

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
