Every fisherman has his favorite fishing area and thinks that it would be the perfect spot for an artificial reef. "Why don't you build a reef here?" they ask.

Obviously, the State could never satisfy every New Jersey angler with his own pet reef. Besides that, there are many constraints that limit both the number and location of ocean reef sites. New Jersey now has a network of 15 reef sites, evenly spaced from Sandy Hook to Cape May. In its original plan, the Reef Program estimated that 14 or 15 sites would be needed to provide access to anglers and divers from every New Jersey inlet.

Atlantic Halibut

Halibut

Hippoglossus hippoglossus
( literally: "horse tongue" )

Size:
to 8 ft and 700 lbs.
usually much smaller

Description:
The Atlantic Halibut is the largest member of the flatfish family and has a grayish eyed side and white blind side. Juveniles are found along the coast of Norway and in relatively shallow waters, while full-grown halibut usually stay in deep waters, between 300 and 2000 meters. So don't expect to see one of these enormous flounders while diving.
