It wasnt a good day when this artificial reef was deployed, or so it was thought. The shallow draft barge loaded with concrete pipe and debris heeled over as she sunk and scattered the cargo around the bottom where she lay upside down.
The Sea Emperor lost her load of concrete culverts as she listed while on her final approach to her final resting place. These concrete pipes are home to a number of critters that have taken up
residency on the Sea Emperor. There is a green Morey eel affectionately named "Baby", Sting rays (Ray & Stubby), a pair of 400lb Golith Groupers (Fred & Ethel). In addition to the local residents, you can often see turtles, nurse sharks and schools of fish.
