The Reefmaker - Walter Marine deployed its first artificial reef in 1986. Today they are the largest reef builders in the United States with over 70,000 reefs deployed. All of our artificial reefs feature our patented design of natural reef like material. These artificial reefs provide a habitat for all forms of marine life, from juveniles to adults. The reefs are durable enough to withstand hurricane 5 force winds and waves. These limestone reefs can be created in any size, including the largest available in the US. There are four divisions of reefs: fishing reefs, snorkeling reefs, wave attenuators, and ships.
In the northern Gulf of Mexico, a bland natural marine environment was transformed into a productive marine habitat by the installation of artificial reefs. Artificial reefs have created thousands of jobs and millions of pounds of demersal (bottom dwelling) fish for recreational and commercial fishermen.
When we first started developing the EcoSystems it was just another reef. However; over time we expanded them into: wave attenuation, snorkeling reefs, oyster reef restoration, mitigation, personal dock reef, coral reef restoration, and is also used as a research tool.
