Below are detailed maps of the Southeast Florida Reef Tract. FOFR focuses on the Southeast FL Coral Reef Initiative (SEFCRI) Zone -- approximately 105 miles of reefs located just offshore between Miami-Dade County (top of Biscayne National Park) north to Martin County (Port St. Lucie).
As of Mid-2018, this area is also legally known as the SE Florida Coral Reef Ecosystem Conservation Area. The entire FL reef tract extends more than 350 miles south through the bottom of the FL Keys, making it the third largest barrier reef systems in the world!
For more info and maps, including a unique Smart Phone App that can help boaters from accidentally and potentially illegally anchoring on delicate coral reefs off the coasts of SE Florida, please visit this FDEP website: southeastfloridareefs.net/southeast-florida-reefs-maps
