The State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) is proposing to complete the following activities: Establish an artificial reef site on the seafloor offshore from the ‘Ewa District of the Island of O‘ahu that is properly placed and of sufficient size to accommodate substantial creation of artificial-reef structures. For this purpose, DAR has delineated an approximately 108-acre area located between depths of 60 and 120 feet that is mostly devoid of coral and valuable marine habitat. Purpose is to provide the public with additional fishing and diving opportunities by constructing an artificial reef on relatively flat, barren, and uproductive areas of the Pacific Ocean.
