Marlborough sounds are creating an artificial reef that can change the world.
This weeks boatload of mussel shells was dropped off at Marlborough's shore. The idea is to create a reef that will help revive marine life and a multi million-dollar industry. 12 tonnes of mussel shells were also dropped off at Pelorus Sound/Te Hoiere. The idea is to restore the mussel beds that was wiped out by over fishing for the past 50 years. The reefs would be monitored regularly and people will also do some research on the reef for scientific study.
