    Abstract

    Artificial reefs are set on the seabed to enhance the growth of marine floral and faunal benthic communities which simulate natural settings for promoting fish aggregations and provide the base for the propagation of resident populations within sheltered structures. They are being used in several parts of the world to promote habitat recovery and enhance reef-dependant resources. The advantage of artificial reefs is in developing fishing grounds close to shore, easily accessible to traditional and non-destructive fishing methods, ensuring the sustainability of both, the habitat, and the resources therein.
