HAPC designation does not protect Pulley Ridge from anchoring by non-fishing vessels, impacts from divers, or from any other non-extractive uses, all of which can impact the health of the reef. The reef rests on sunken barrier islands and lies 100 miles west of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve and stretches north about 60 miles at depths ranging from 60–80 meters.

We found a 93% coral loss on the main ridge of the reef and a huge area of new coral recruits outside the main HAPC. overarching Pulley Ridge HAPC. 4. The expanded area extends fishing restrictions to the east and south of the HAPC’s previous boundaries. These discoveries resulted in doubling the area of the Pulley Ridge HAPC west of the Tortugas.
