Here is a link to possibly the world’s largest manmade reef in San Clemente

A bulldozer moves boulders off a barge to form an artificial reef off Calafia
Beach in San Clemente on Monday, August 5, 2019. The work, part of
environmental mitigation by Southern California Edison for expansion of the San
Onofre Nuclear Generation Station in the 1970s, will expand a 174-acre reef to
384 acres. (Photo by Paul Bersebach, Orange County Register/SCNG)
