About MD-1 Reef
MD-1 Reef is an artificial reef in the federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico off Sarasota, Florida, at 27.1615, -82.8844. The site sits beyond state waters, which places it under federal jurisdiction rather than Florida's nearshore management zone. As constructed structure on an open Gulf bottom, the reef provides hard relief in an area otherwise lacking natural cover. Depth and target species for the site are not yet on file, so anglers rely on electronics to locate the structure at the listed coordinates and read its profile on arrival. Sarasota-area inlets serve as the logical departure points for trips to this offshore reef.
