ARTIFICIAL REEF MODULE AND METHOD

摘要

Improvements in artificial reef modules cast from concrete, with tire chips salvaged from automobile tire optionally added to the mix which is preferably derived from waste concrete mix from ready-mix trucks, the modules being formed in open top molds resembling geometric solid shapes such as a tetrahedron and wherein the sides are desirably roughened to present a wash board corrugated surface, and including suitable recesses for engaging same with lifting apparatus for disposition of same for storage or transit and for release therefrom to descend to an ultimate resting place at the sea bottom in clusters such that marine life is inherently attracted thereto and whereby waste material is recycled in an environmentally enhanced form.
