New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul and Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos have announced plans to deploy recycled materials to the Smithtown Reef as part of the largest expansion of artificial reefs in state history.
The recycled material will be sourced from deconstructed New York State Department of Transportation projects and two decommissioned Canal Corporation vessels.
New York’s network of artificial reefs serves to support existing marine habitats, promote biodiversity, and boost Long Island’s recreational industries.
