CREATING AN ARTIFICIAL REEF Since the 1950s, the Sarasota Bay system has lost about 4,500 acres of hard bottom habitat due to dredge and fill activities, adversely impacting the productivity and biodiversity of Sarasota Bay’s coastal lagoon system. Hard bottom habitat provides a substrate for soft corals, filtering bivalves, and crustaceans, which in turn support a variety of life stages of game and non-game finfish as well as shellfish. Historically these hard bottom habitats supported a thriving fishing industry along Florida’s Gulf Coast and bay inlets. - Hard and soft - Document - PDFSEARCH.IO
