Bremer Pond has a structure zone called the Corona Reef. Each Spring I place a buoy at the same location in the south western quadrant of the pond. Then during the open water season I fill empty clean bottles with pond water and sink them by the buoy. The location is in 10-12 feet of water.

I have used my underwater camera to check what is happening down there. The bottles don�t down drop straight down though they do stay in the designated area; sort of a bottle field. I have never seen a broken bottle down there. All of the bottles become covered with algae after a being down there a while and are excellent homes and hiding places for small fish, grubs, crustaceans and miscellaneous underwater life.

Since glass is pretty much inert, it seems to me to be a great material for creating a reef-like environment. Has anyone else on the Forum done something like this?

Wouldn�t a bottle reef in lakes and/or reservoirs be a good way to use some of the tons of glass that goes to the landfill? The reefs could be placed in otherwise barren bottomed areas.

Life is Good on Bremer Pond!
