About This Spot
The Carysfort Trench Existing Management Area Mooring Buoy is located off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, along the deeper edge of the Carysfort Reef system. This offshore site features a dramatic underwater trench that drops sharply, creating a unique habitat for a variety of marine life. Managed to protect the coral and seabed, the area uses mooring buoys to prevent anchor damage while offering easy access for fishing and diving. Anglers can expect to find species like Mutton Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and Barracuda patrolling the deeper waters around the trench.
