Résumé

David Walter is one of the few people alive who participated in the birth of Alabama's artificial reef program in the mid-1980s. Information gleaned from this inaugural effort played an important part in the development of the nation's fisheries. This riveting book takes the reader through the history and process of how artificial reefs are made, as well as illustrating the many types of materials used in reef making.
Readers will also learn how Walter's business is partnering with marine environment think tanks to find ways to increase oyster production, overcome problems with invasive species and improve water quality.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de David Walter

David Walter grew up in Mobile, AL, joined the Marine Corp in 1966, served in Viet Nam, and honorably discharged. He worked at the Terminal Railway in Mobile for two years before attending Faulkner College in Bay Minette, AL to become an engineer. He started a part-time boat repair business that grew too large to accommodate college. This business grew into a shipyard in Fairhope, AL. In 1987, he sold the shipyard, moved to Orange Beach, becoming the first commercial reef builder on the Gulf Coast.
To date, he has deployed over 45, 000 artificial reefs. He holds several patents for artificial reefs and wave attenuators. Walter Marine/Reefmaker manufactures and deploys artificial fishing reefs, snorkeling reefs, and wave attenuators worldwide.
