The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries Artificial Reef Program has been creating reefs since the 1970s and currently maintains 26 estuarine and 43 ocean reefs. Artificial reefs are placed to provide opportunities for fishing, diving, and as habitat for fish and shellfish species throughout North Carolina’s coastal waters. These reefs contain a variety of materials, including rock, recycled concrete, reef balls and ships. Join us to learn about reefs in our state, how they are constructed, how they are monitored, and the many environmental and recreational benefits reefs provide to coastal North Carolina.
