Did you know the Division maintains 43 ocean artificial reefs and 29 estuarine reefs, creating prime spots for fishing and SCUBA diving? These reefs are enhanced using materials like retired vessels, recycled concrete pipe, crushed concrete, and even demolished bridges.

The result? Thriving underwater habitats that support spawning, feeding, and shelter for many of the stateā€™s important marine species.

Every year, Marine Patrol partners with the Medical Examinerā€™s Office to ensure unclaimed people are laid to rest with dignity.
This year, the ashes of 116 were respectfully spread at seaā€”providing a peaceful final resting place.
