JULY 12, 2018 - NYS DEC: ARTIFICIAL REEF BUILDING in 2018 (SHORT VIDEO ON HOW ITS DONE)

[EC NEWELLMAN]

The other day while perusing socialized media, there was a post blasting the NY ARTIFICIAL PROGRAM and the way the NYS governor and NYS DEC went about the current deployment and re-purposing of debris from the Tappan Zee project.

Nonetheless at this time, fishermen should view this as a positive for nearshore eco-system enhancement as well as creating a increased A.R. footprint for all the current NYS A.R.'s around Long Island.

A well made short video was made on how the first A.R. deployment was done, and hopefully more will be seen in the near future.
