On November 18, 2025, Florida deliberately sank the 227-foot abandoned freighter Borocho about nine miles off Martin County, transforming it into the Boo McCulley artificial reef. The ship had deteriorated in the Miami River for a decade before the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission contracted Resolve Marine Group to remediate and reef it. The vessel now rests nearly 200 feet underwater near St. Lucie Inlet.
