New York Artificial Reefs

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.

Four of the reef sites are too small to draw at this scale, so they are represented by blue crosses. If you cut the arms off the crosses, that's about how big the reefs would be! Inlets are labeled in black, except for Rockaway, which is actually two inlets and a reef. Moriches is also much smaller than shown here; the proposed expansion is plotted, the current reef would be a dot.
