Oyster castle blocks will be used to create artificial reefs. Each Oyster Castle reef will be comprised by 8 manufactured
concrete blocks (12” x 12” x 8” [L x W x H]). Each of these blocks are to be stackable and interlocking, and designed
to create complex, stable habitat that is suitable for oyster settlement, growth, and survival. The footprint of the
Oyster Castle reefs will be 3,240 ft2 (301 m2). The substrates should not entrap protected species, as no large (>
2”) gaps should exist in these substrates. Furthermore, these substrates should not be comprised of petroleum
products (e.g., creosote or asphalt materials).
Potential bidders may direct questions to Pat Donovan-Brandenburg at (910) 938-6446 or (910) 358-0558.
