The Susan Rose was re-sunk as an artificial reef in February. Over two months later there still has been no public announcement. This is a very disturbing trend in the artificial reef program. Here is the NJDEP contact form if you would like to inquire:

It will no doubt be used for another completely scientific "period of successional development and monitoring" like the Carrabassett since 2024 and the New England Coast since 2023. Here is the NJDEP contact form if you would like to inquire about the progress of these studies:
