Just read that they are demolishing part of the Old Skyway Bridge & bringing the concrete into the Gulf to be used as reef. Good idea for once.....

Once finished, the demolished pier will benefit sea life, but the construction process will make navigating a little more difficult for boaters.
Crews working to dismantle portions of the Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier will begin delivering and submerging 70,000 tons of artificial reef material off the Anna Maria Island coast as early as Monday.
This was on BayNew9 website today:
Boaters and fishermen are advised to avoid the Three Mile North Reef area during construction, which could last until February. Buoys will alert boaters to possible obstacles.
The project will significantly upgrade the Three Mile North Reef, a 26-acre artificial reef located three miles west of the northern shores of Anna Maria Island. The work is being done at no cost to Manatee County in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation's $2.2 million project to demolish portions of the pier.
