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.

Anchors & Chain

Anchors

An old-style wooden-stocked anchor stowed alongside on a sailing ship. Note the two hawsepipes where the mooring chains enter the bow.
