Delaware’s Artificial Reef Program Seeks Federal Permit
Delaware Department of Natural Resources Environmental Control, Division of Fish & Wildlife, has applied to the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), Philadelphia District, for the continued deployment of artificial reef materials at new and existing artificial reef locations. The Public Notice is dated April 25, 2005, and comments are due on May 28. For more information, call Edward Bonner, ACOE project manager, at (215) 656-6733 between the hours of 1:00 and 3:30pm. COA supports NJ’s Artificial Reef Program. Since this reef program is outside of COA’s area of focus (Montauk, NY, to Cape May, NJ, offshore to the continental shelf), COA will not be commenting on the application.
