"Layercake" Reef Balls
Harold Hudson's 'Layer Cake' style Reef Balls were used to create ledge and complex void habitat types to make sure the reef was instantly balanced from a structural perspective. Harold Hudson of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) who many know as 'The Reef Doctor' and is a world known expert on coral reef restoration commented that after reading the list of accomplishments and the time frame in which it was done, the word 'amazing' seems most appropriate to describe the new reef. The output of the Reef Ball assembly line in particular would have made Henry Ford proud. Watching the development of (the reef) in the coming years should give (everyone) even greater satisfaction.
