Artificial reef structure

Abstract

An artificial reef structure is provided with units each including an intermediate artificial kelp; an upper buoyant body including a buoyant drum at one side and having snap members, and a first pressing plate at an other side and having first and second holes wherein the snap members are inserted through the artificial kelp and the second holes to fasten the buoyant drum, the artificial kelp, and the first pressing plate together; and a lower support including a second pressing plate at one side and having second snap members and a bottom hook, and a third pressing plate at an other side and having third and fourth holes wherein the second snap members are inserted through the intermediate artificial kelp and the fourth holes to fasten the second pressing plate, the artificial kelp, and the third pressing plate together; and an anchor including rings each secured to the hook.

1 . An artificial reef structure comprising:
 a plurality of units each comprising:   an intermediate artificial kelp;   an upper buoyant body including a buoyant drum at one side and having a plurality of first snap members, and a first pressing plate at an another side and having a plurality of first holes at top and bottom ends respectively, and a plurality of second holes between the first holes wherein the first snap members are inserted through an upper end of the intermediate artificial kelp and the second holes to fasten the buoyant drum, the intermediate artificial kelp, and the first pressing plate together; and   a lower support including a second pressing plate at one side and having a plurality of second snap members, and a third pressing plate at an another side and having a plurality of third holes at top and bottom ends respectively, and a plurality of fourth holes between the third holes wherein the second snap members are inserted through a lower end of the intermediate artificial kelp and the fourth holes to fasten the second pressing plate, the intermediate artificial kelp, and the third pressing plate together;   at least one line each having one end connected to the first hole of the first pressing plate of the upper buoyant body at one end of one of the plurality of units and an another end connected to the first hole of the first pressing plate of the upper buoyant body at an another end of an adjacent unit; and   an anchor secured to the second pressing plate of the lower support of one of the plurality of units.
