Artificial Reef / Mariculture Status Report

Coast Survey's mission is to help ensure safe navigation for all vessels, regardless of size and
purpose. We need your help in updating nautical charts so we can continue to provide mariners
with accurate water depths and precise locations of structures.

Artificial Reef/Mariculture Status Report
Based upon the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
District Artificial Reef/Mariculture Permit or Public
Notice issued to you, NOAA’s National Ocean Service (NOS) requires information for our nautical charting effort in the interest
of safe navigation. NOS charts artificial reefs and mariculture sites permitted through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the
start of construction in order to provide the mariner with up-to-date information on these significant obstructions.
