A new reef for snorklers on Pensacola Beach has gotten final approval from Escambia County Commissioners. The contractor has until August to install the artificial reef at a cost of $59,500 which will be paid for with a grant from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Robert Turpin, the county’s Marine Resource Division manager, said the reef will be located 8.7 nautical miles east of Pensacola Pass about 450 feet off the beach and will be made up of 17 reef modules. It will be the county’s second snorkel reef on Pensacola Beach. Turpin said construction of the reef is dependent on surf conditions and the contractor’s schedule.
