A method of and structure for enhancing stocks of marine life or fish. The method includes the steps of providing a two component structure of which one component is electrically conductive and the other component is electrically insulating or semi-conducting; locating the two component structure under water; and passing an electric current through the water and using the electrically conducting component as an electrode. Minerals are accreted on the electrode to form a reef. The two component structure may comprise a mesh formed of interleaved layers of copper and polymer mesh, and may be wrapped around a submerged oil rig jacket. The oil rig jacket may act as a sacrificial electrode. |
