Delaware Panel Gets Artificial Reef Update

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- A panel that helps oversee Delaware's tidal finfisheries is getting an update on the state's artificial reef program.

The update on artificial reefs is among several items on the agenda for Wednesday night's meeting of the Delaware Advisory Council on Tidal Finfisheries.

Among other things, the council will be updated on the sinking of the USS Radford, a decommissioned Navy destroyer that was sunk in August about 25 miles off the Indian River Inlet. Officials have said the 563-foot ship is the longest vessel ever sunk as an artificial reef in the Atlantic Ocean.
