Creating Habitat
with Artificial Reefs
Walter Marine achieved fame as the first commercial reef builder, deploying large-scale reefs across the United States to revitalize marine environments and support coastal ecology.

From traditional artificial reefs to cutting-edge custom designs, shoreline protection systems, and fish aggregating devices, we offer complete marine habitat solutions.
Artificial Reefs
In the northern Gulf of Mexico, a bland natural marine environment was transformed into a productive marine habitat by the installation of artificial reefs. Artificial reefs have created thousands of jobs and millions of pounds of demersal (bottom dwelling) fish for recreational and commercial fishermen.
