The Gulf of Mexico is a rich source of fish, and fishermen have long enjoyed its waters. But recent development in the area has seen the emergence of oil rigs. Scientists and fishermen alike are asking whether rigs pose a threat to fish populations.
While fishing and the oil industry don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand, it’s a great way to get some fresh seafood and experience something different. In addition to being an excellent way to enjoy the scenery, fishing from oil rigs provides an opportunity to catch giant fish, such as Marlin, Wahoo, and tuna. In addition to their structural value, oil rigs have been able to be transformed into reefs, which is perfect for anglers.
To locate oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, you must be aware of the presence of offshore platforms and give them ample room when approaching. You can also use satellite data to locate oil platforms. This will allow you to identify the location of oil platforms in clear blue water.
