New Jersey Scuba Diving

Kiley B

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Side-scan sonar image. Doesn't look like there's much left of the wooden hull.

The Kiley B was sunk by the Artificial Reef Committee before the state's reef program began.

Teredo (Shipworm)

Teredo

Teredo navalis

Size: to 5 "

This worm-like creature is actually a bivalve mollusk with a greatly reduced shell, which it uses to bore tunnels into wood. They typically spend their entire lives in a tunnel in a single piece of wood. In addition to feeding off the wood, they can also filter feed like ordinary bivalves.

In the age of wooden ships, teredos and other wood-borers were a tremendous problem. In our area, more wood-boring is done by crustaceans than Teredos.
