Reef Balls

Reef ball -- not for kickingAccording to the representative I met at OceanFest, Reef Balls serve to restore ailing coral reefs, to create new fishing and scuba diving sites, and to protect beaches.  They are made of special, "marine-friendly concrete" designed to mimic natural reef systems, and because they match the Ph levels in seawater, Reef Balls facilitate the growth of coral better than regular concrete.  Essentially, Reef Balls are mass-produced, low-cost, eco-friendly artificial reefs.  They may not be as exciting to swim near as, say, a giant ship on the sea floor, but from the photos on Reef Ball’s website, it appears that coral and fish truly dig them.  Seems like a cool project.  If you’re interested, you can adopt a single ball; your company can sponsor a reef-building project; or you can help build and deploy Reef Balls.  Has anybody ever seen a Reef Ball "in action"?
