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
chapters written for this reference, Artificial Reefs in Fisheries Management
represents an effort to bring to the forefront the current state of knowledge
regarding artificial reefs and their pragmatic application to furthering fisheries
sustainability. It presents a pilation of research to increase options for
the implementation of artificial reefs for fishery and natural resource managers.
Artificial Reefs in Fisheries Management offers an inclusive and passing
description of the field by chapter authors drawn from diverse geographical
areas. This approach gives the reader the broadest of perspectives, and also
reflects regional interests and experience with artificial reefs in different parts of
the world.
Coming at an opportune time in the field of artificial reefs, Artificial Reefs in
Fisheries Management serves as an aid to researchers and natural resource
managers for more careful consideration of the special features of artificial reefs
in their application to resolving fisheries management problems. This book is an
important step toward improving the prescribed utilization of artificial reefs as a
viable option in many of the world’s fisheries in the quest to make more of the
world’s fisheries sustainable.
