Using Ecopath Models to Explore Differences in Ecosystem Characteristics Between an Artificial Reef and a Nearby Natural Reef on the Coast of the North Yellow Sea, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The comparison of trophic structure and energy flow between natural and artificial reefs is imperative to evaluate whether these man-made structures work similarly to comparable natural reefs. Here, to characterize the potential difference in functioning

Assessment of the Performance of an Artificial Reef Made of Modular Elements through Small Scale Experiments

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Artificial reefs have proven to be an optimal and effective solution in stabilizing coastlines around the world. They are submerged structures that imitate the protection service provided by natural reefs accomplishing the functions of dissipating wave ...

Artificial reefs in Turkey [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2002
Artificial reef deployment in Turkish waters and results from monitoring studies are described. The first known project with 10 old trolley-bus bodies was in 1989, and presently there are six ongoing projects in which reinforced concrete modules of five different designs are being used.

Differences in trophic structure and trophic pathways between artificial reef and natural reef ecosystems along the coast of the North yellow Sea, China, based on stable isotope analyses

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Artificial reefs have been employed to promote enrichment of degraded habitats communities and support local fisheries. To better evaluate the performance of artificial reefs, simultaneous comparisons with relatively undisturbed natural reefs nearby are ...

Bioremediation of marine coastal ecosystems: Using artificial reefs [PDF]

Vestnik MGTU, 2016
The development of the biotic community on the artificial reefs in the coastal zone of the northeast Black Sea region has been studied. Colonization stages of the artificial reefs by hydrobionts depended on substance, time and depth of reef construction ...

Artificial reefs and marine protected areas: a study in willingness to pay to access Folkestone Marine Reserve, Barbados, West Indies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Artificial reefs in marine protected areas provide additional habitat for biodiversity viewing, and therefore may offer an innovative management solution for managing for coral reef recovery and resilience.

Artificial coral reefs as a localised approach to increase fish biodiversity and abundance along the North Bali coastline

AIMS Geosciences, 2022
Coral reefs face worldwide decline from threats such as climate change, destructive fishing practices, overfishing and pollution. Artificial reefs have shown potential as a method to mitigate localised habitat loss and biodiversity decline on degraded ...

Applicability Study of a Sunken Vessel as an Artificial Reef in a High Wave Energy Zone

Energies, 2021
The purpose of this study is to analyze the applicability of a sunken vessel as an artificial reef in a high wave energy area in a shallow water zone. Artificial reefs in general shapes are unlikely to be installed and maintained stably in high-energy ...

Application of acoustic telemetry to assess residency and movements of rockfish and lingcod at created and natural habitats in Prince William Sound. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Loss and/or degradation of nearshore habitats have led to increased efforts to restore or enhance many of these habitats, particularly those that are deemed essential for marine fishes. Copper rockfish (Sebastes caurinus) and lingcod (Ophiodon enlongatus)
