MAN-MADE MARINE HABITAT

Larry Beggs, above left, and Shawn Trew pack concrete into a "reef ball" mold at Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park on Monday. More than 500 concrete balls will be placed in clusters five miles off Nags Head. The state Division of Marine Fisheries hopes the artificial reef will attract and shelter fish and other sea life. At left is an aquarium-sized model of the reef balls.
