Artificial Reef Material 5 Years In the Ocean

This is an artificial reef created incorporating recycled concrete materials about 5 years after being placed in the Ocean. This particular marine habitat is off the coast of Jacksonville in 70 feet of water. The reef site is already a thriving habitat teaming with life.

It’s jam packed for such a small artificial reef

I wish the world could create more like this

[@uwjax]

Creating underwater habitat can be very effective at benefitting the ocean and marine life.

@@uwjax are you planning more similar projects? How can we support you?

@@unbreakableldorado7723 I think you should encourage coral gardeners to create statues of king triton to honor the memory of Kenneth Mars who is his voice actor And Ursula in order to honor the memory of Pat Carol and a statue of Sebastian in honor of the memory of Samuel E Wright do you think those coral gardeners can make statues out of coral the same colors as their characters I would like to see them do that you know

I came here because Philippines starting to clean their seas.

[@uwjax]

That is great to hear ocean conservation is moving forward

[@isabellam1936]

What did it look like in the beginning?

[@uwjax]

The area was just a sandy area of seafloor which looked pretty barren of a great diversity of observable marine life. Check out channels UWPICVID and UWSTAUG to get a better idea.

highly highly productive location for that old junk, well i guess you know where to put more of it if you want even bigger better results.

[@uwjax]

We are currently producing videos for the UWSTAUG Channel (St Augustine) and the UWEC Channel (Emerald Coast Florida) but are hopeful for support to continue to produce underwater Jacksonville focused for this channel.
