A Reef Ball Reef Balls are artificial reef modules placed in the ocean to form reef habitat. Constructed from: Benefits of:

Reef Ball Foundation Our mission is to rehabilitate our world's ocean reef ecosystems and to protect our natural reef systems using Reef Ball artificial reef technologies. We have placed Reef Balls™ in 59+ countries and our projects have a global reach of 70+ countries. We have conducted over 4,000 projects and deployed over 1/2 million Reef Balls. www.reefball.or
