Texas Artificial Reef Website - Amazing!

One of the best maintained and educational artificial reef websites is found in Texas. We have included a link below.

Interesting Fact:


"Sixteen of 23 U.S. coastal states (or 70 percent) maintain artificial reef programs."

The Artificial Reef Program, created in 1990 as a program within the Coastal Fisheries Division, promotes, develops, maintains, monitors and enhances the artificial reef potential of Texas offshore waters.

The Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas hosts commercial and recreational fishing and diving and plays an important role in local economies. It provides vital habitat for marine life of all types and links us with the ocean through an interconnected environment.

Artificial reefs enhance this marine environment by providing additional habitat needed by marine life. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Artificial Reef Program, funded through industry partnerships and grants, creates and enhances this critical marine habitat to benefit Texans and the natural environment.
