Inshore reefs are those artificial reefs developed solely in Louisiana state waters between the Louisiana Intracoastal Waterway and the Louisiana coastline and within Lake Pontchartrain. There are currently 30 inshore reefs dispersed between Louisiana's coastal basins: Calcasieu, Vermillion-Atchafalaya, Terrebonne, Timbalier, Barataria, Breton, and Pontchartrain.
These reefs are utilized by the greatest number of Louisiana's fishermen due to shorter travel distances, and provide options to stay closer to land during inclement weather conditions. Inshore reefs are created using a few different types of material including limestone, recycled crushed concrete, and pre-fabricated material such as reefballs. Many inshore areas are relatively shallow, so these reefs need to be carefully sited, and are lower in profile than the offshore counterparts.

The Louisiana Artificial Reef Program has recently developed nine inshore planning areas across the coastal zones. These planning areas have been created to facilitate the process of future inshore reef development and to enhance existing inshore reefs. Typically, prior to an inshore reef being created, it must go through a lengthy approval process. The inshore artificial reef planning areas have already gone through the permitting process, have been given a thumbs-up by user groups such as shrimp, oyster, and crab fishermen, and are ready to be enhanced to benefit anglers.
