What is an artificial coral reef?

An artificial coral reef is one that has been made by humans.  This is generally done by placing a large structure, such as a sunken ship, at the bottom of the ocean and allowing nature to take its course.  Over time polyps will begin to grow on the structure and it will develop into a reef.
