Rigs to Reefs provides an alternative to complete oil rig removal, modifying old platforms so they can continue to support marine live as an artificial reef. The decommissioned oil platform can be towed, toppled or have the top portion removed. Afterwards, they can be home to over 14,000 fish and many other marine species!
