The Texas Artificial Reef Program

ISBN:
Category : Artificial reefs
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Deployment of artificial materials in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas occurred indiscriminately in the 1950s and earlier. It was not until the mid-1970s that material was intentionally placed on the sea floor in the Gulf to enhance and create marine habitat. In 1975 and 1976, 12 obsolete WWII Liberty Ships were cleaned and intentionally reefed off Texas. This action was the forerunner to the current Texas Artificial Reef Program (ARP). While each artificial reef site can be considered unique due to physical characteristics, the main objective of the Texas Artificial Reef Program is to establish baseline fish community data at representative artificial reef sites to characteize fish communities through time using standard fish census methods. The specific objectives of this report, for the period 1993-2018 are: 1) to describe reef monitoring efforts 2) to describe fish communities at monitored artificial reefs sites.

Vertical Reefs
Author: Mary Katherine Wicksten
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623493110
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
On a clear night, the bright lights of oil platforms sparkle in the Gulf of Mexico. Thousands of these platforms off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana play an important role in the lives of underwater species who find food, shelter, and permanent homes in the ecosystem created by these big, three-dimensional structures standing on the flat sea floor. They may also play lesser-known roles “above the waves” in the migration of birds and even insects. Tapping into years of diving experience, marine biologist Mary Wicksten looks at the inhabitants and visitors of these “vertical reefs”, explaining how life arrives on the platforms, what species settle and stay (like barnacles), and which ones visit then disappear (like silky sharks). She looks at how different life forms take up occupancy from the surface downward, and she shows how these communities vary on nearshore and deepwater platforms. While most people may never experience the undersea world of oil platforms, this book will bring a better understanding of it to any teacher, beachgoer, angler, diver, or coastal resident who ever wondered what was going on beneath those far-off lights.
