Rubble-mound Structures as Artificial Reefs
Structures armored with rubble can have a positive effect on coastal ecology by functioning as artificial reefs particularly when they are placed in areas with a barren bottom. The desirable qualities of these reef structures are frequently overlooked. Many people think of rubble groins, jetties and breakwaters as desirable places to fish, but do not realize that the structures themselves have a major influence on the success of their fishing. Creating fishing reefs by putting solid materials in coastal waters has a long history of success and help support a fishery that contributes millions of dollars to coastal recreation. Corps of Engineers rubble-mound structures are ideal artifical reefs because they are built of natural stone and have many varying sized cracks and crevices exposed to the entire water column so they can be colonized by the greatest diversity of reef dwellers. Most potential environmental problems can be overcome by careful planning and site selection. Although benefits appear great, quantifying them is a difficult task. Both from the standpoint of biomass and sport-fishing success, rubblemound reefs are biologically highly productive.
Artificial Reefs
In this book fisheries biologists, ecologists, limnologists, oceanographers, aquatic resource managers and planners, commercial fisherman and environmental scientists are offered information on the latest artificial fishing reef designs, siting and placement methods, and ecological research as well as an overview of current united states legislation and regulations.
Artificial Reefs in the Philippines
This workshop and the resulting proceedings came into being as a result of cumulative concerns by aid agencies, nongovernmental organizations and by government authorities and researchers about the mass installation of artificial reefs in the Philippines.
Artificial Reefs in Fisheries Management
While artificial reefs may have much to offer, they remain an anecdote in the greater scheme of fisheries management, primarily due to the lack of data specific to validating their use. Based on papers presented at the 9th Conference on Artificial Reefs and Artificial Habitats (CARAH) and also including original articles written for this reference, Artificial Reefs in Fisheries Management brings to the forefront the current state of knowledge regarding artificial reefs and their pragmatic application to furthering fisheries sustainability. It presents a timely compilation of research to increase options for the implementation of artificial reefs for fishery and natural resource managers. Art...

Artificial Reef Evaluation
Beneath the coastal waters of the world lie thousands of artificial reefs. Some are old and retired freighters and ships that once plied the oceans of the world but now serve as habitats for marine life. Others are newer reefs that have been designed and built for specific applications. With the field of aquatic habitat technology continually growi
Structure in the Sea
Structure in the Sea: The Science, Technology and Effects of Purpose-Built Reefs and Related Surfaces provides a review of the history, development, status and emerging trends in research, technology and applications of artificial reef habitats and sea floor structures. The book helps readers understand, utilize and add to the research of modern reef deployment efforts, presenting a guide to equip stakeholders requiring technical foundations and best practices. Topics include materials, designs and construction methods, along with the ecology of these structures, including key aspects of the life history of plants and animals associated with artificial reefs. Rigorous research addressing eco...
