McCulley Marine Services, Inc. Off Shore Reef Experience April -May 2013 Martin County Oyster Reef Over 5 -acres of cultch material totaling 3,500 tons were deployed. This was a shallow water project for the creation of oyster habitat in the St. Lucie River. Crews deployed by day and loaded by night, accounting for ten loads in ten working days, all precisely deployed. May 2013 Martin County Taking advantage of our mobilized crew and vessels after completion of the Oyster Reef Project, we rolled right into offshore deployment for Martin County. Two loads culverts, boxes and pile cutoffs were deployed totaling 1,500 Tons. May -August 2013 Volusia County One week after wrapping up our work for Martin County, crews were on site in Volusia County. Over 10,000 Tons of materials, from rail ties to light poles to culverts, were deployed over the course of 29 trips. This marked the biggest year for Volusia County in terms of tonnage deployed, practically doubling their number of artificial reefs in one season. August 2013 Flagler County One day after demobilizing from Volusia County, our Tug Regina T was on station in St. Augustine for, surprisingly, our very first project with Flagler County. This project was bid on short notice and was again challenged by the weather. With three days to spare the seas broke and we were able to deploy the final barge load of material. Though our contract called for 750 tons, overall we deployed 850 tons of demolished bridge sections. August 2013 Martin County With the Regina T working in Flagler County, the Champion was loading out of the Port of Ft. Pierce for deployments offshore Martin County. Culverts, boxes and bridge sections totaling 2,000 tons were deployed in two Toads. April 2014 Martin County and the MCAC Artificial Reef Fund McCulley crews towed the vessel D.M. One, a 225' bulk carrier, from its staging area in Miami to the waters offshore Stuart, FL. With spectacular weather and sea conditions, we sank the ship in 197' of water, across the current, upright and on the numbers. Upon sinking she was redesignated the Hailey Glasrud Reef, and is the largest artificial reef in Martin County. July 2014 Martin County Staging at Phipps Park, our crews deployed over 3,000 tons of concrete culverts, boxes, and piling cutoffs in six separate deployments. July 2014 Palm Beach County Under tight deadlines, MMS crews mobilized and staged to Palm Beach County to deploy 1,000 tons of limestone boulders. Using our ABS barge "D2005" we accomplished this in a single deployment. August 2014 St. Lucie County Staging from home in Ft. Pierce at the County's Harbor Pointe Artificial Reef Staging Area, McCulley crews loaded and deployed 1,500 tons of concrete power poles, culverts, slabs, and boxes in three separate deployments.
