I wish creating an artificial reef was as simple as "dropping some rocks" but it is not. Do a search on the web about Ca artificial reef projects there have been a number of tries but few have succeeded.
thanks for the positive input, atleast taking the time to actually think of what I mentioned
As with any big venture, or idea with a big impact that defys normal ideas, I know thered be alot to consider. But its something to consider nonetheless.
I will definitely check it out.
wasnt there a power plant down south they tried that at?
