By using a "double walled" <br />Reef BaIl instead of a standard vertical or horizontal slat wave fence, you can create fish habitat and <br />have a fence that does not require maintenance or regular replacement. There are often permitting <br />advantages to using environmentally accepted Reef Balls instead of wooden structures that can cause <br />dangerous debris in the ocean as they deteriorate. Reef Balls are often used in front of sea waIls to <br />help disperse reflective wave energy and to help mitigate for the shoreline habitat loss when a seawall <br />is built. The basic difference between a Reef Ball wave fence and a Reef Ball submerged breakwater <br />is that the tops of Reef Balls are emergent from the sea level to provide effective attenuation with a <br />single minimal rows of Reef Balls. Because of this, the top of Reef Balls are often modified in these <br />projects to accept. for example red mangrove seedlings (propogules) or to be sloped in a manner to <br />avoid injury of a person falling into the water. <br /> <br />Additional Wave Fence/Marina Projects: <br /> <br />.
