Young Hero Award for Under Dock Reef Ball Project Photos

YOUNG ECO-HERO AWARD A T.J. Tullo (aged 16): Scientific Discovery, "Improving Marine Life" After volunteering with Alliance for Living Oceans, T.J. became curious about the impact of housing development on marine life near his home. He installed artificial reefs called "reef balls" under his family's dock, and discovered the "reef balls" improved marine life. T.J. is encouraging greater use of "reef balls" in his neighborhood, and is continuing his testing of the waters and sediment in New Jersey.
