Charleston and Georgetown have added more artificial reefs off of their coasts in order to create new habitats and prevent coastal erosion. The reefs are made out of a concrete design that assists with erosion control. 8 towers of various heights and different configurations were deployed in order to create an enhanced fish habitat on the ocean floor. "These have not been used specifically as fish habitat before," said Robert Martore, who leads the agency's artificial reef program. "We will monitor the structures, and if they attract and hold significant numbers of fishes, we will construct more and distribute them along the coast."

In addition, The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, along with partners, sent a retired 65-foot fishing boat 50 feet underwater off the coast of Georgetown.
