Manufactured Wire Reef Fabrication

Activity:  Manufactured Wire Reefs (MWRs) are a new type of reef unit SCORE began implementing in 2020 comprised of a galvanized wire mesh that is cut and shaped by volunteers.  MWRs are then filled with recycled oyster shell and coconut husk coir.  

What it involves: Pneumatic air tools and wire benders are used to cut and shape wire.  Recycled oyster shells are then shoveled into buckets and inserted into shaped wire.

Strenuous level: Medium; shoveling and carrying shell can be tiring, however this can be rotated with other volunteers.
