ABSTRACT:
A method of construction of an artificial reef with individual reef elements manufactured from recycled or new materials. Each reef element is constructed, for example, from used tire casings which are cut in one of several different ways. One type of reef element is constructed by cutting a tire casing longitudinally along its tread area leaving a single small web area at one side short of the tire being completely severed into individual loop segments, or a pair of webs on opposite sides of the tread. Tire casings cut in this way are then fanned open and attached to one of two types of bases. The second and third types of reef elements are constructed from several side walls or half tires, also mounted on one of the two types of bases. Enumerable other reef element configurations are possible by cutting the tire casings in other ways. A method of deployment of the various reef element types is discussed to provide protection for various size fish, from the small fry to the fingerling to the average market size.
