Artificial reef

This week the Department of Maine Resources and the Mississippi Gulf Fishing Banks are building 18 artificial reefs. The inshore reefs are meant to attract different species of fish, while at the same time increasing their numbers. A 110x 40 spud barge deployed tons of limestone near the Ocean Springs bridge Tuesday. A spud barge can pivot and rotate around a central spot, this makes the job of the bulldozer easier, as they dump out the stone. "They'll move the barge around while we deploy…

The Reefmaker – Walter Marine has deployed over 60,000 artificial reefs since 1986, and they are the largest reef builder in the United States.

The secret to this artificial reef? 3D printing.

Sixty-four concrete reef balls were built and lowered into the water near Providence, R.I. in hopes of enticing more fish.

TOILETS, shopping carts, washing machines and other assorted junk have been dumped into the sea to create habitats for marine organisms and the fish that feed upon them. But making reefs from refuse is now frowned upon. Alabama, for example, banned fishermen from sinking vehicles in the Gulf of Mexico in 1996, even when drained of potentially harmful fluids. Now more bespoke artificial reefs are taking shape. Reefs improvised from junk often do not work well. Corals struggle to colonise some…

New reef design and innovation As you know we love artificial reef design. For too long the concept of an artificial reef has been far too...artificial. We live on a planet where nature provides us with an organic design library that stretches the imagination. From sea shells to tiny plankton, our planet is a design wonderland waiting to be explored. And yet in the artificial reef space innovation, or the desire to try something new moves at a glacial pace. This anti-design is a product of…

Over the years, we’ve seen an awful lot of ships, boats and ‘tubs’ of all sizes sink to the sea floor. We’ve made movies about them, raised historic one

The Adopt a Coral program helps support the continued voluntary work of coral restoration, coral nursery upkeep and maintenance of the artificial reef dive site Junkyard Reef. This amazing artificial reef attracts an abundance of diverse marine life and helps to educate thousands of eco-minded scuba divers who visit it each year.
