Future plans for the reef include adding ‘reef balls,’ which attract a variety of plant and animal life, and a sea trail, which will include an underwater navigation course. "Eventually, we’ll have this park full—40 acres really isn’t a lot of space once you start filling it up," said Lachelt. "Then we’ll probably look for other places to build artificial reefs."
"We encourage other towns in Southeast and other clubs and dive shops to copy the idea as well," added Lachelt. "It’s easier to do now because we paved the way. And it’s such a great way to encourage habitat—just build it and they will come"
