ABSTRACT:
A synthetic habitat device providing for the enhancement of open estuary systems with regard to the survival potential of juvenile fish. The device is an assembly composed of a horizontal member with a plurality of cylindrical downward curving appendages. The device is permanently attached to existing bulkhead structures bordering an aquatic system and is located adjacent to and below the surface of the water at low tide elevation. The device provides substrate for colonization by marine organisms and sanctuary to juvenile fish in various developmental stages. The device is a substitute for indigenous plant structure and substrate which has been diminished or eliminated from a natural estuary system.
