Oil Rig Now Fish Rig in Gulf Off Destin
An aging 500 ton oil platform was sunk 19.4 miles southeast of Pensacola to become an artificial reef off Destin, donated by Tenneco Oil Exploration. The rig, split from its deck and sunk in 158 feet of water, aims to attract marine life and sport fish, potentially paving the way for more reef structures in the Destin area.
