Join us to build reef balls at the Michael E. Busch Annapolis Library.
Day 1 will include the assembly of reef ball molds, mixing of concrete, and the pouring of the concrete to make the reef balls.
Please wear clothing that can be dirty, and no open toed shoes.
Reef balls are a specially designed artificial reef unit that are used worldwide to build and restore reef habitat. Here in the Chesapeake, reef balls provide important three-dimensional habitat for oysters and many other filtering organisms to attach to. They also provide hollow structure for juvenile fish and crabs to hide from predators. Yes, it’s those predators we pursue as anglers, so reef balls also make some great fishing spots too.
