About M-6 Reef

M-6 Reef is an artificial reef in federal Gulf waters off Sarasota, Florida, located at 27.1883, -82.7266. The site sits offshore of the Sarasota coastline, beyond state waters, where placed structure rises from the surrounding Gulf bottom. Artificial reefs like this one concentrate marine life around otherwise featureless seafloor, creating a focal point in open water. Because the reef lies in federal waters, it is reached by boat from Sarasota-area inlets. Anglers navigating to the spot rely on the listed coordinates to locate the structure.
