Student Monitoring of Reef Balls
Since then Island School students have reported seeing wrasses, grunts, groupers, doctor fish, snappers, butterfly fish, and many other species of fish on the reef balls. Students have placed reef balls close to natural reefs, far from natural reefs, on sandy bottom, on grassy bottom surfaces, and added halo structures of PVC to try and make the artificial reefs more attractive to sea creatures.
