About Us

Our Mission

To promote understanding of the economic and ecological benefits of Artificial Reefs in Eastern North Carolina, in order to raise money for the sinking of new Shipwrecks for the enjoyment of SCUBA Divers and Sports Fisherman along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina.


The Eastern Carolina Artificial Reef Association will be working closely with NC Division of Marine Fisheries artificial reef coordinator, Jim Francisconi and area sport fishing associations.

The Eastern Carolina Artificial Reef Association is open to all members of the community, divers, fisherman, waterman, boat owners and nature lovers.
