Learning How Artificial Reefs are Made - 26,000lb SUPER Reefs

[@decapolis01]

I am glad Alabama is investing in and preserving our hunting and fishing. As a warship designer I loved seeing the equipment rooms of that old ship. That old stuff was built simple but strong. Thats why shes still sailing. Thanks for sharing.

[@TripSmith]

Yea, that's pretty awesome of Bama. Very cool stuff! Don't forget to share this one with friends, I'd like to try to raise the awareness of artificial reef benefits 😎👍

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

SO FUN!! Awesome you got to do this, thanks for sharing!

[@TripSmith]

Yea man! Glad you enjoyed it Rubber! I'm so excited that an opportunity like this opened up for the channel.....

Let's see if we can raise the awareness of the benefits of these reefs have on the marine environment. Please share this video with a few friends who might find it interesting. Then share it with everyone else you know!!!

[@ohnobo14]

I shared this to my girlfriend and friends! So interesting!

[@Nomad-yn7pv]

Wow, your channel has really evolved man! You don't remember me, I was Funky Monk among other user names, but I watched you a lot a few years ago when you were doing your kayak trips on the rivers and creeks and camping. Well, you inspired inspired to "Get out there" and now I'm finally doing it. I have a channel now with very few views lol, but that's totally not why I'm doing it. It wasn't planned, but I fell in love with making videos as I adventure full time. I've even given you a shout out or two! Thanks for helping me get off that couch. You actually helped me change my life.

We're crabbing in the lower end of Mobile,bay south of the intracoastal. This boat passed right by us weekly last year building reefs. It's an old Botruc vessel

[@FloridaMan2024-y8o]

[@goferizer]

We are getting our first artificial reef since 2009 down here in the Keys if the permits are EVER okayed. Concrete light poles supposedly about 16 miles NW of key West. Hard to believe there have been no artificial reef additions since the Vandenberg was sunk off Key West in 2009.

[@brianking973]

You should see the engine rooms and bottom of my 684 foot Navy vessel I work on. LPD-29. Thanks for this content!

[@TripSmith]

Aw man! Wish I could! Glad you enjoyed it Brian! Share it with someone who would also enjoy it 👍

[@jaeljade3609]

Very cool!

[@MrBthames2000]

The black bands are from “banding” and just means you need to tweak your camera settings. Maybe a better lens/camera setup. Good video.

[@michaelridgell1981]

Pretty neat trip

[@TripSmith]

Thanks Michael! Don't forget to share this one with friends, I'd like to try to raise the awareness of artificial reef benefits 😎👍

[@randallbracewell9226]

Trip, did you ask what the cost was for a private reef would be?

[@TripSmith]

I did. It depends on which one you want. The chicken coops are a few hundred a piece, but you need to do a bunch of them. You can't just do one. The Super Reefs are many thousands

[@TripSmith]

[@craigmetcalf7571]

Nice trip. Trip

[@TripSmith]

Thanks Craig! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RandyZimmerman-pp5wj]

Why don't you have some lights

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Boat transporting artificial reefs ALMOST collides with drifting barge, and itself ALMOST becomes an artificial reef....

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

FWIW: *I ❤️ TETRAHEDRONS*

[@jimh.5286]

I hope the crane doesn't get hit by lightning.

[@aljohnson1191]

Alabama has more laxed laws when it comes to creating artificial reefs

[@TripSmith]

Ah, maybe so. That's interesting. Don't forget to share this one with friends, I'd like to try to raise the awareness of artificial reef benefits 😎👍

[@aljohnson1191]

@@TripSmith will do, wish we could have more AR’s in SW FL where we fish but it is a very complicated process that the state has to oversee. Alabama allows folks to build private reefs so long as they comply with the eco regs and pay a small fee
