About Fallen Heroes Reef

Fallen Heroes Reef is an artificial reef in the federal Gulf waters off Sarasota, Florida, sitting west of the barrier islands beyond the boundary of state-managed waters. The site sits at 27.2099, -82.8031, a fixed position that anglers running offshore from the Sarasota area plot directly. As man-made structure on the open Gulf floor, the reef breaks up otherwise featureless bottom and gives fish a point of vertical relief to hold around. Species records and depth figures for this site are not yet on file, so the reef's structure and its location in federal water are its defining traits for now. Anglers heading out treat the published coordinates as the starting point and read the structure on their electronics once over the site.
