Talk:Artificial reef

message: "including structures purposely built for use as marine benthic habitat are used."
I looked at Benthic zone and I am confused. Aren't artifial reefs built above the benthic zone? --Gbleem 21:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: How does a designed reef cost less than using materials of opportunity, if by their definition, materials of opportunity are available, while a designed reef must be sought and designed? --Badger151 18:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Designed reefs --> reduction in costs? 

message: A lot of this article has been pruned and some of the sections may well have needed to be cut, but I think the article has really been gouged without any opportunity for discussion.  I think it would be worth adding back the notable artificial reef section to provide readers links to examples of what can constitute an artificial reef.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Carlroller (talk • contribs).
:First, what exactly constitutes a "Notable" reef?  Are you talking about external links? - brenneman 01:53, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  The one I was particularly thinking of was the link to the USS Oriskany article.  The artificial reef portion of that article could certainly use further development, but it is also a great example of how some artificial reefs are formed.  I think the multitude of links to these ReefBall thinks was worth cutting, but if there are any wiki articles on one or two of those they might be worth putting back in too. Would be better if they could be incorporated as part of the article rather than as a list, but I found the links helpful and was disappointed to see them cut.croll 23:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ahh, /* Looks in page history */ I see the bit you mean now.  I removed that bit becaue it was just a laundry-list jumble to my eyes.  I'd have no objection to it being fleshed out as prose. - brenneman 01:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  K.  :) I put in back in as a paranthetical in the introduction. croll 18:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable Artificial Reefs 

message: This text which I removed is clearly NPOV and needs some fixing and references before it can be added to the article again: "The information evolving has been getting "censored" by commercial operators who wish to expand the patent ASR product to a world Market and are threatening acedemic research (for which one reef was approved for) which may show undesirable atributes to the overall project. Confidence has been shattered in the prospect of sustainable "perfect surf" in sand circumstances as sand particles will do as they will not what computer models wish then to do."63.197.134.209 (talk) 19:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV problem regarding artificial surfing reefs

message: I thought this text was suspicious and removed it from the page. Maybe someone can find some cites for it and achieve NPOV?
Or, then again, maybe not. cheers, Mote (talk) 07:51, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, the ex HMAS Adelaide (FFG 01) has now been scuttled, I recently re-added this artificial reef along with a tidying up of the other 5 former RAN ships scuttled as dive wrecks including the addition of a sub-section for Australia.Cowdy001 (talk) 22:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  HMAS Adelaide

message: Hi, I have added Ship graveyard to the 'See also' sub-section, because where I live, the relevant government agency considers scuttled ships (including those deliberately sunk as artificial reefs)to be abandoned ships and their resting places to be ships' graveyards.  I recently updated the Ship graveyard article to reflect changes to the government agency's website which contains details of all of these ships. Cowdy001 (talk) 23:06, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
