lagler County constructed its eighth artificial reef in June, dropping
109 reef balls into the sea, creating a valuable marine habitat
and recreational opportunities for area fisherman and divers. The
reef was named after Joe Halusky who spent many years assisting
the county in the SeaGrant program.
Funding for the project was provided by the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program. The St. Augustine Port, Waterway and Beach District, contributed matching funding for theproject, totaling $10,000.
