Sixteen Fathom Artificial Reef
16-Fathom Artificial Reef
13 nautical miles southwest of Fire Island Inlet, 1.33 sq miles
Depth: 85 to 103 feet
This is a new reef for 2023, 1-nm square. This reef is located in the separation zone of the very busy Ambrose-Nantucket shipping lane. I can't believe that was permitted by the ACOE.
So far just concrete blocks and forms, no vessels.
All manner of concrete, steel, and stone rubble from dredging, demolition projects, and other construction is used as artificial reef materials. This material is generally available at very low cost or free from construction companies who are more than happy to get rid of it. Transportation costs determine where this material is used by the Reef Program.
