A hands-on artificial reef builder, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman explores natural and artificial fishing reefs, ruins, wrecks, and obstructions in the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac River, from Pooles Island in the Upper Bay to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and also in the upper tidal Potomac River. He discusses how, where, and what to look for from a sport fisherman's perspective, and walks readers through armchair use of modern tech websites to scout fishing hotspots. Continuing the illustrated narrative voyage begun in "Bridges Under Troubled Waters: Upper Chesapeake and Tidal Potomac Fishing Reefs" (2018), this second volume in the series with a Foreword by Lenny Rudow, expands coverage of shoreline structures, natural and artificial bottom structures, wrecks, and obstructions where striped bass, redfish, speckled trout, cobia, and other predators forage in Maryland. There's also full coverage of Virginia's Bay artificial reefs with graphic layouts plus details about nearby natural structure, wrecks and obstructions. The location and configuration of rediscovered "lost" and "bandit" artificial reefs and wrecks are disclosed along with a selection of natural features not shown on nautical charts. Also covered are ruins of lost lighthouses, compromised and failing shore protection structures, submerged fallen timber, disappearing islands, and Reef Balls at fishing reefs and oyster restoration sites. Reef descriptions are supported by a selection of pictures, sonar imaging, and computer-generated graphics to aid in visualizing specific reef structures and layouts. Designed for jump-starting the acquisition of local knowledge about light-tackle fishing structure by casual and journeyman sport fisherman, there are jewels of information inside for sportfishing veterans as well, including underwater pictures and sonar-scan images contributed by guides and sonar and side-imaging enthusiasts. A selection of color graphics used to produce the greyscale images in the book are found on the Facebook page for this series, "Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs", and featured in previews and excerpts by the author found on the FishTalk Magazine Where to Fish webpage. This is first and foremost a book for fisherman that provides practical methods to find and prospect structure that attracts sport fish, while also drawing on lessons from the author's Coast Guard service and Bay restoration and fishing experience to encourage boating and fishing safety.

From early times, man has created artificial reefs for a variety of reasons: some to form barriers to hold back creeks or streams, others to aid in rudimentary fishing while yet others were to create habitat for marine creatures, primarily, and for recreational divers, generally. An additional reason for the more recent planned and executed creation of artificial reefs is to preserve historical wrecks from over-anxious divers and to give these divers a preferred underwater site to explore; an added bonus is to aid local tourism. This story builds on the idea that former surface vessels can be used to make artificial reefs that serve as a habitat for marine critters and as a prime dive site for recreational divers. The story centres around five former Royal Canadian Navy destroyers, one former RCN maintenance vessel, as well as one former Air Canada Boeing 737and one former coastal freighter. Each of these artificial reefs is located in selected coastal waters off the west and east coasts of North America. Read how a cool beer combined with a paper napkin were the genesis of a world class organisation that set the standard for changing former warships into artificial reefs that has been copied by diving enthusiasts in both north and south hemispheres.

Battlefields have been the object of fascination for millions of tourists and the subjects of elaborate interpretation projects. This volume will outline the process and results of developing the WWII Maritime Heritage Trail: Battle of Saipan Project. This book will provide examples of how a group of archaeologists, managers and a community took a specific battle and transformed it from a collection of unknown archaeological sites into a comprehensive storied battlescape that reflects the individuals and actions of those who were involved. It will provide an in-depth view of current maritime archaeological research on submerged battlefield sites, the development of a WWII battlefield maritime heritage trail, as well as the problems and solutions of such an effort. It will cover subjects such as: -heritage and dark tourism-conflict or battlefield archaeology-public interpretation, and community engagement. This volume will serve as a practical review of a project influenced by a range of complementary areas of study and inclusive of many stakeholders, from the public to the professional and beyond. It provides an example of a balanced approach towards research and interpreting archaeological sites through the identification and inclusion of the various stakeholders (professional and community) and an awareness of what was being included, ignored, or inadequately represented in the research and interpretation.

Told by a former artificial reef manager, recreational boater, and sport-fisherman with a foreword by Lenny Rudow, this is first and foremost a book for fisherman that provides practical methods to find and prospect bottom features that attract bait, striped bass, redfish, cobia, sea bass, tautog, sheepshead, and other sportfish. It also draws on lessons from the author's Coast Guard service and Chesapeake Bay restoration and fishing experience to encourage boating and fishing safety. This first book of a multi-volume Mid-Atlantic fishing reef series covers from the Delaware Bay Entrance south to just below the Maryland-Virginia border. It provides a detailed look at wrecks, obstructions, natural formations, and Delaware's ocean artificial reefs with layout illustrations. It identifies locations of reef sites managed by the Ocean City Reef Foundation in Maryland's coastal waters, and advises how to obtain current information about ongoing reef deployments and specific locations. Designed for jump-starting the acquisition of local knowledge about light-tackle fishing structure by casual and journeyman sport fisherman, there are jewels of information inside for sportfishing veterans as well. The narrative not only shows and tells where to look for structure, but also includes graphics from hydrographic survey data and sonar images to show what is actually there to inform fishing strategies and tackle selection. Geographic coordinates are included. A selection of color graphics used to produce the greyscale images in the book are found on the Facebook page for the Author's works, "Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reefs", and in excerpts by the author posted on the FishTalk Magazine "Where To" webpage. A special chapter developed with a docking pilot and marine pilot discusses boating and fishing safety in relation to commercial ship and tug and barge operations. A step-by-step illustrated guide shows how to access and use the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Bathymetric Data Viewer and its links to National Ocean Service Descriptive Reports that document results of hydrographic surveys.

When ships sink to the ocean floor, the ocean transforms them into artificial reefs. This new life begins with the growth of coral polyps and the arrival of small plankton, followed by schools of fish and hungry predators, until the ship is home to hundreds of sea creatures. It's a magical transformation from relic to reef that helps bring life back to struggling ocean ecosystems.
