Abstract: The formation of artificial reef modules which are primarily cast from concrete. Optionally, tire chips may be added to the concrete is disclosed. Most desirably, the concrete is "waste" concrete obtained from ready mix trucks which have a portion of their load to discharge at the termination of any given job. When tire chips are employed they, of course, are a product of salvaging automobile tires whether for crumb rubber, or otherwise. The modules are formed in an open mold which resembles various geometric solid shapes. Desirably the sides are roughened to have a washboard corrugated type configuration to cause undulations in the module itself which has been demonstrated to be further means of attracting marine life. A related aspect of the present invention looks to the provision of lifting means on each such module to permit the same, with relatively crude equipment, to be moved about in a factory site, onto trucks, onto barges, and off the barge to its ultimate resting place at the bottom of the sea.
