What materials will be used to construct the reefs and what size will they be?
Cultch will be used to construct the reefs. Cultch is any hard material – most often fossilized shells, limestone rock and recycled concrete rubble – that is placed on water bottoms to enhance oyster habitat or create oyster reefs. In some areas patch reefs 100 feet long and 23 feet wide are being built, separated from each other by 30 feet. In other areas, these patches are grouped together without spacing in order to maximize the use of suitable substrate.
