Artificial Reef Placement in the New River
MOREHEAD CITY – The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries plans a proposed 30-acre coastal artificial reef in New River near Town Point.
River Works at Sturgeon City has been awarded funding to create an artificial reef in New River. Working in conjunction with the division’s Artificial Reef Program, River Work proposes using material from the U.S. 17 Herbert G. “Buddy” Phillips Bridge replacement project to construct this reef.
The division heard from fishermen and others regarding the types of activity that occur in this area. Crabbing and gill netting practices and recreational fishing and boating activities were of particular interest to the division.
River Works plans to build the reef with a two-year grant, totaling $563,000, funded by revenues from the Coastal Recreational Fishing License.
