Murrells Inlet Artificial Reef Renamed For Conservationist

South Carolina's artificial reefs are constructed from a wide variety of materials, ranging from various forms of suitable scrap to specifically designed and constructed reef habitat structures. Steel-hulled vessels, like the one being deployed to the Bruce T. Rush Ten Mile Reef, are the most commonly used material in reef construction, with more than 100 having been sunk off the coast of South Carolina since 1969.
