Delaware Artificial Reefs
Delaware Artificial Reefs
Coverage of Delaware is restricted to just those sites that are in the ocean. Siting reefs has been tricky for Delaware, as they must be kept clear of the shipping lanes. This doesn't leave a lot of places that are both located in usefully deep water and a convenient distance from shore.
