ALABAMA ARTIFICIAL REEF GENERAL PERMIT AREAS

ALABAMA’SARTIFICIAL REEF PROGRAM

Alabama has one of the largest artificialreef programs in the world. The naturalbottom of offshore Alabama is apredominately flat sand/mud type bottom.This bottom type attracts very few fish thatare either commercially or recreationallyvaluable. However, it has long been knownthat if vertical relief is created on this bottom,many reef fish such as snappers andgroupers will be produced. In fact, artificialreefs can be created that over time willappear as natural reefs with similarcommunities of encrusting organisms andbait fish. As various encrusting organismssuch as corals and sponges cover theartificial reef material, small animals take upresidence. On-going research withinAlabama’s artificial reef general permit areasindicates that juvenile red snapper recruitto new, uninhabited artificial reefs, agingwith the reef, and recruiting to the fishery atan appropriate size. At that point the artificialreef functions as a natural reef.

Alabama's artificial reef building programstarted in 1953 when the Orange BeachCharter Boat Association asked for theauthority to place 250 car bodies off BaldwinCounty, Alabama. This proved to be verysuccessful and in the years since, manydifferent types of materials have been placedoffshore of Alabama. These have includedadditional car bodies, culverts, bridge rubble,barges, boats and planes. In 1974, in anexcellent example of State/Federalcooperation, several "ghost-fleeted" libertyships were sunk in five locations off Mobileand Baldwin Counties in 80-93 feet of water.

In 1987, a general permit was issued bythe U. S. Army Corps of Engineerscreating specific areas offshore ofAlabama for the creation of artificial reefs.These were created in order to provide areasfor these materials in order to coordinatewith other users of the offshore area. In 1987the areas encompassed almost 800 squaremiles.

In 1993, the U. S. military in addressing theneed to de-militarize obsolete battle tanksrealized that immersion in sea water wasan acceptable method. The idea waspresented to the Marine Resources Divisionand development of an operation planbegan. Reef-Ex is the program name

associated this activity. In 1994, one-hundred M-60 military tanks were deployedas artificial reefs in depths of 70 to 110 feet of water within the Hugh Swingleand Don Kelley North permit areas. The conservative estimate for the life spanof the tanks is 50 years as artificial reefs.

In late 1997, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers authorized an expansion ofAlabama's artificial reef construction areas to allow for greater freedom in reefplacement and greater variety in depth. The combined area for all reef permitzones now encompasses approximately 1260 square miles. At the same time,the protocol for reef construction was modified. This modification limited thetypes of materials that can be used to construct artificial reefs. Enforcementof the protocol and placement of reefs is a joint effort of the Marine ResourcesEnforcement Section, the Alabama Marine Police Division, and the U. S. CoastGuard.

INSHORE FISHING REEFS

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 21inshore artificial fishing reefs and there you will find an inshore fishing experience that is second to none onthe Gulf Coast.

Prior to the construction of formal fish attractors in Mobile Bay, knowledgeable local fishermen understoodand appreciated the community relationship between the Bay’s prolific oyster reefs and exploitable fishpopulations. First, there’s something structurally different about an oyster reef from the surrounding sandand 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 attractschools of fish even if devoid of biological activity. But an oyster reef is anything but devoid of life. In additionto 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 andshrimp abound, taking advantage of the large variety of available food supported by the oyster reef ecosystem.

In past geologic history, when the sea stretched much farther inland than today, oyster and marine fishpopulations thrived in areas which are now human habitat. As the seas retreated, so did the oysters andfish, slowly moving southward out of what is now the Mobile Delta. Good oyster habitat, hard bottom andmedium salinity, continued to move southward as sea level fell and river discharge increased. This progressionof natural events created a chain of oyster reefs all the way down both sides of the Bay, and left behind vastdeposits of shell. Many of these old reefs continued to support marginal populations of oysters, but typicallyonly enough for very localized harvest and marketing strategies. Man’s agricultural activities upstate dumpedheavy loads of sediment into the waters of the Bay, and rapid human encroachment into the Bay area coupledwith dredging and channelization changed the flow patterns of the Bay, impacting most of the middle bayand 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 andresponsible. An idea was developed to ring marginally productive oyster reefs in the bay with some form ofhard, durable material, and fill the areas with oyster cultch such as shell or crushed limestone for verticalrelief. All that was needed was the appropriate material, something hard, cheap, and durable. It was believedthat such an enhancement could help revitalize oyster production in these relict reef areas, possibly resuscitatingan oyster industry which made the Bon Secour area famous in days past. Additionally, the agency anticipatedimproved sportfishing at the sites due to increased vertical relief and biological diversity. The agency didnot 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 oldMobile Bay Causeway bridges (Tensaw, Blakely, and Apalachee rivers). The Marine Resources Division withthe help of local contractors and conservation groups decided to build fish attractors with the material. Thiswas precisely the material needed for the ringing of the oyster reefs that had earlier been envisioned by theagency. Now was the time to move ahead with what has since proven to be the most comprehensive fishingenhancement project in the history of the Bay and the finest example of inshore fishery enhancement in thenation. Your purchase of motorboat fuel and fishing tackle helps pay for these construction efforts throughthe Wallop-Breaux funding program.

Refer to the map within this document. Shellbank, Denton, Grey Cane and Fish River reefs are dual purposesites serving as both fishing reefs and as experimental oyster reef rehabilitation areas. These three areasreceived oyster cultch material (crushed limestone) during the summer of 1998 and fall of 1999. All of thesesites are producing spectacular catches of speckled trout and redfish. The water depth above all the constructionmaterial is approximately 3.5 feet at mean low water (MLW). Anglers should exercise caution at all timeswhen 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 tremendousenhancement of our oyster and sportfish resources in the Mobile Bay area. The agency is committed tocontinuing this trend, sprinkling great fishing areas and, where possible, enhanced oystering areas withinthe reach of even the most modestly outfitted angler.

M

And where such abundant food is available, you find gamefish...and lots of them!

ALABAMA’S INSHORE FISHING REEFS

A total of 30 inshore fishing reefsare located within Mobile and BonSecour Bays, Mississippi Sound,and the Perdido System. Concretebridge materials, culvert pipes,concrete roof panels, oyster shellsand crushed limestone were utilizedas reef materials. Five reefs areexperimental dual-purpose sites,providing excellent inshore fishingwhile improving oyster productionon nonproductive relict oyster reefs.In addition, seven gas productionplatforms in lower Mobile Bay havebeen enhanced with limestone rockfish attracting pads.

GAS PLATFORM FISHING ENHANCEMENT - MATERIAL LOCATIONS

Gas Platform Fishery Habitat Enhancement Program

Substrate stabilization materials originally placed around gas platform locationsin lower Mobile Bay once provided excellent benthic invertebrate habitat,supporting large populations of predatory fishes. Years of storms and propellerwash have covered or moved these materials, and fishing success was decliningnoticeably around the platforms.

Crushed limestone aggregate provides an ideal substrate for the settlement andgrowth of oysters and other benthic invertebrates. A complex ecological webincluding baitfishes and recreationally important predatory fishes will be establishedand maintained throughout the life of the material on the bottom. Local recreationalfisheries associated with these gas platforms will benefit as a direct result of thiswork.

These four additions complete this phase of MRD’s Gas Platform Fishery HabitatEnhancement Program and will afford excellent fishing around these easilyaccessible gas platforms, adding to the three platforms similarly enhanced in2003.

As a recreational boater andfisherman I recognize that:

The waters of the Gulf of Mexico andits associated bays, sounds, lakesand tributaries are valuable publicresources ent rusted to thestewardship of all who enjoy them.A pollution-free aquatic environmentis essential to the health andproductivity of coastal fisheries andto high quality recreational fishingand boating experiences.Trash deliberately discarded orcarelessly lost overboard is harmfulto marine life and shorebirds, createsa blight on the shorefront, andthreatens the safe, efficient operationof boats and equipment.Waterborne debris in the Gulf ofMexico is detrimental to all Gulf statesand other countries that share thewaters of the Gulf.
