Event Summary:
Artificial reefs in Texas Coastal waters.

Event Description:
The Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) Artificial Reef Program was established in 1990 with a guiding mission to develop, maintain, promote and enhance the artificial reef potential in Texas Coastal waters. Funded through industry partners and grants, the program has established almost 100 reef sites that run along the Texas coast and include locations in both state and federal waters. These reefs include sunken ships, prefabricated concrete pyramids, culverts and a myriad of other suitable materials. During this webinar we’ll get a fish-eye-view of some of our larger artificial reefs and learn the science behind our monitoring program.
