In 1987, a general permit was issued by
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
creating specific areas offshore of
Alabama for the creation of artificial reefs.
These were created in order to provide areas
for these materials in order to coordinate
with other users of the offshore area. In 1987
the areas encompassed almost 800 square
miles.
In 1993, the U. S. military in addressing the
need to de-militarize obsolete battle tanks
realized that immersion in sea water was
an acceptable method. The idea was
presented to the Marine Resources Division
and development of an operation plan
began. Reef-Ex is the program name

Alabama's artificial reef building program
started in 1953 when the Orange Beach
Charter Boat Association asked for the
authority to place 250 car bodies off Baldwin
County, Alabama. This proved to be very
successful and in the years since, many
different types of materials have been placed
offshore of Alabama. These have included
additional car bodies, culverts, bridge rubble,
barges, boats and planes. In 1974, in an
excellent example of State/Federal
cooperation, several "ghost-fleeted" liberty
ships were sunk in five locations off Mobile
and Baldwin Counties in 80-93 feet of water.

Alabama has one of the largest artificial
reef programs in the world. The natural
bottom of offshore Alabama is a
predominately flat sand/mud type bottom.
This bottom type attracts very few fish that
are either commercially or recreationally
valuable. However, it has long been known
that if vertical relief is created on this bottom,
many reef fish such as snappers and
groupers will be produced. In fact, artificial
reefs can be created that over time will
appear as natural reefs with similar
communities of encrusting organisms and
bait fish. As various encrusting organisms
such as corals and sponges cover the
artificial reef material, small animals take up
residence. On-going research within
Alabama’s artificial reef general permit areas
indicates that juvenile red snapper recruit
to new, uninhabited artificial reefs, aging
with the reef, and recruiting to the fishery at
an appropriate size. At that point the artificial
reef functions as a natural reef.

associated this activity. In 1994, one-hundred M-60 military tanks were deployed
as artificial reefs in depths of 70 to 110 feet of water within the Hugh Swingle
and Don Kelley North permit areas. The conservative estimate for the life span
of the tanks is 50 years as artificial reefs.
In late 1997, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers authorized an expansion of
Alabama's artificial reef construction areas to allow for greater freedom in reef
placement and greater variety in depth. The combined area for all reef permit
zones now encompasses approximately 1260 square miles. At the same time,
the protocol for reef construction was modified. This modification limited the
types of materials that can be used to construct artificial reefs. Enforcement
of the protocol and placement of reefs is a joint effort of the Marine Resources
Enforcement Section, the Alabama Marine Police Division, and the U. S. Coast
Guard.

INSHORE FISHING REEFS
M
obile Bay’s ample surface area – about 450 square miles – and its shallow waters... coupled with the
influx of copious amounts of freshwater and nutrients from rivers and tributaries, produce some of
the very best saltwater gamefish populations to be found anywhere. Speckled trout and white trout,
redfish and black drum, sheepshead and flounder all abound in local waters. Head to one of Alabama’s 21
inshore artificial fishing reefs and there you will find an inshore fishing experience that is second to none on
the Gulf Coast.
Prior to the construction of formal fish attractors in Mobile Bay, knowledgeable local fishermen understood
and appreciated the community relationship between the Bay’s prolific oyster reefs and exploitable fish
populations. First, there’s something structurally different about an oyster reef from the surrounding sand
and mud bottoms. Oyster reefs are usually raised ever so slightly above the surrounding aquatic terrain,
providing linear habitat and home range anchors for schools of predatory fish. This reef structure would attract
schools of fish even if devoid of biological activity. But an oyster reef is anything but devoid of life. In addition
to the oysters, dozens of types of aquatic invertebrates call the “nooks and crannies” of the oyster reef home,
filling each biological niche. Barnacles, mussels, worms and bryozoans, along with a variety of crabs and
shrimp abound, taking advantage of the large variety of available food supported by the oyster reef ecosystem.
And where such abundant food is available, you find gamefish...and lots of them!
In past geologic history, when the sea stretched much farther inland than today, oyster and marine fish
populations thrived in areas which are now human habitat. As the seas retreated, so did the oysters and
fish, slowly moving southward out of what is now the Mobile Delta. Good oyster habitat, hard bottom and
medium salinity, continued to move southward as sea level fell and river discharge increased. This progression
of natural events created a chain of oyster reefs all the way down both sides of the Bay, and left behind vast
deposits of shell. Many of these old reefs continued to support marginal populations of oysters, but typically
only enough for very localized harvest and marketing strategies. Man’s agricultural activities upstate dumped
heavy loads of sediment into the waters of the Bay, and rapid human encroachment into the Bay area coupled
with dredging and channelization changed the flow patterns of the Bay, impacting most of the middle bay
and particularly the eastern shore reefs, including the once prolific reefs in Bon Secour Bay.
For the Alabama Marine Resources Division, enhancement of these relict oyster areas seemed logical and
responsible. An idea was developed to ring marginally productive oyster reefs in the bay with some form of
hard, durable material, and fill the areas with oyster cultch such as shell or crushed limestone for vertical
relief. All that was needed was the appropriate material, something hard, cheap, and durable. It was believed
that such an enhancement could help revitalize oyster production in these relict reef areas, possibly resuscitating
an oyster industry which made the Bon Secour area famous in days past. Additionally, the agency anticipated
improved sportfishing at the sites due to increased vertical relief and biological diversity. The agency did
not anticipate just how good the fishing would become!
In the spring and summer of 1996 various concrete rubble became available from the demolition of the old
Mobile Bay Causeway bridges (Tensaw, Blakely, and Apalachee rivers). The Marine Resources Division with
the help of local contractors and conservation groups decided to build fish attractors with the material. This
was precisely the material needed for the ringing of the oyster reefs that had earlier been envisioned by the
agency. Now was the time to move ahead with what has since proven to be the most comprehensive fishing
enhancement project in the history of the Bay and the finest example of inshore fishery enhancement in the
nation. Your purchase of motorboat fuel and fishing tackle helps pay for these construction efforts through
the Wallop-Breaux funding program.
Refer to the map within this document. Shellbank, Denton, Grey Cane and Fish River reefs are dual purpose
sites serving as both fishing reefs and as experimental oyster reef rehabilitation areas. These three areas
received oyster cultch material (crushed limestone) during the summer of 1998 and fall of 1999. All of these
sites are producing spectacular catches of speckled trout and redfish. The water depth above all the construction
material is approximately 3.5 feet at mean low water (MLW). Anglers should exercise caution at all times
when approaching these sites, but particularly during times of extreme low (winter) tidal conditions.
The Marine Resources Division and its industry and public partners are proud to be involved in such tremendous
enhancement of our oyster and sportfish resources in the Mobile Bay area. The agency is committed to
continuing this trend, sprinkling great fishing areas and, where possible, enhanced oystering areas within
the reach of even the most modestly outfitted angler.

Gas Platform Fishery Habitat Enhancement Program
Substrate stabilization materials originally placed around gas platform locations
in lower Mobile Bay once provided excellent benthic invertebrate habitat,
supporting large populations of predatory fishes. Years of storms and propeller
wash have covered or moved these materials, and fishing success was declining
noticeably around the platforms.
Crushed limestone aggregate provides an ideal substrate for the settlement and
growth of oysters and other benthic invertebrates. A complex ecological web
including baitfishes and recreationally important predatory fishes will be established
and maintained throughout the life of the material on the bottom. Local recreational
fisheries associated with these gas platforms will benefit as a direct result of this
work.
These four additions complete this phase of MRD’s Gas Platform Fishery Habitat
Enhancement Program and will afford excellent fishing around these easily
accessible gas platforms, adding to the three platforms similarly enhanced in
2003.

As a recreational boater and
fisherman I recognize that:
The waters of the Gulf of Mexico and
its associated bays, sounds, lakes
and tributaries are valuable public
resources entrusted to the
stewardship of all who enjoy them.
A pollution-free aquatic environment
is essential to the health and
productivity of coastal fisheries and
to high quality recreational fishing
and boating experiences.
Trash deliberately discarded or
carelessly lost overboard is harmful
to marine life and shorebirds, creates
a blight on the shorefront, and
threatens the safe, efficient operation
of boats and equipment.
Waterborne debris in the Gulf of
Mexico is detrimental to all Gulf states
and other countries that share the
waters of the Gulf.
