North Carolina's Artificial Reef Program just dropped 360 recycled concrete reef balls into state waters to create new marine habitat. The program has used recycled concrete to create nearly 1,100 acres of marine habitat across 47 artificial reef sites since the 1970s. The new reef balls will add to approximately 1,000 tons of granite rock placed there in 2019.
