These three artificial reef sites were established in 2000, in order to provide mitigation for potential impacts to the nearshore reefs from the Hutchinson Island Beach Renourishment Project. Martin County’s nearshore reef sites are located between the Stuart and Jensen Public Beaches. Deployments include the Hailey Glasrud Reef (a steel vessel) in the Sirotkin and concrete rubble reefs in the Donaldson. This material of opportunity greatly reduces the cost of creating reefs and redirects the material to a beneficial use rather than to a landfill. The Martin County Utilities and Solid Waste Department works with the Martin County Artificial Reef Program to secure materials of opportunity by allowing contractors to dispose of clean concrete free of charge and storing the material for the program.
