TISIRI located, surveyed, and mapped the reef material on 8-4-11, exactly one week after the reef deployment. Divers that participated in dive survey and data collection efforts included Joe Kistel, Ed Kalakauskis, Nate Tucei, Jim Davis, and Gene Langeman.Reef material was found dispersed in a random and sporadic fashion with both densely clustered congregations as well as isolated pieces. Several fish species were observed as well as a few mobile invertebrates. The reef was placed well within the permitted boundaries and the maximum vertical relief from the seafloor was below 50 feet from the surface. The reef deployment appears to meet regulatory requirements and should evolve into productive marine habitat.
