Description
Angler’s is a linear ledge which runs east-west and drops off about 4-5’. The ocean side of the ledge is a flat pavement-like plain, the shore side is a sand flat interspersed with small rock outcrops. The top of the ledge has sporadic coral colonies and lots of urchins.
Sea Life
Yellowmargin, Whitemouth, and Stout Morays are common as are several varieties of Soldierfish and Squirrelfish. The reef is named for the many Anglerfish that can be found here (both Commerson’s and Painted).
