Rigs-to-Reefs relocated their experimental subsea production system from offshore Louisiana to a permitted artificial reef site off Apalachicola, Florida. The first platform jacket was donated by Tenneco and towed from Louisiana to Pensacola, Florida. By 2000, 151 platforms had been converted to permanent reefs. Of these, 90 were towed to new locations and 61 were abandoned in place. Louisiana had 94 of the platforms-turned reefs, Texas 50, Alabama 4, and Florida 3. Florida, which has a long-standing ban on offshore oil production, has requested and received a number of decommissioned oil platforms for creation of artificial reefs in Florida state waters.
