Summary
To enhance recreational fishing and sport diving opportunities in coastal
waters, and to increase the amount of productive hard-bottom habitat available
overall, man can participate (with significant help from nature) in the
creation of additional man-made, or
"artificial" reefs. This is accomplished by placing suitable
long-lived, stable and environmentally safe materials (usually steel or
concrete) on a selected area of ocean bottom. Once the material is in place it
acts in the same way that naturally occurring rock outcroppings do in providing
hard substrate necessary in the basic formation of a live-bottom reef community.
Description
Locations Artificial reef development in South Carolina's coastal and offshore
waters is managed through the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources,
Marine Resources Division (MRD). The state's Marine Artificial Reef Program, first
established in 1973, is a part of the MRD's Office of Fisheries Management
(OFM).
