Coral restoration – A systematic review of current methods, successes, failures and future directions (2020, background): “In many cases, artificial reefs are deployed in conjunction with other methods, such as coral transplantation [57, 94,95].”
Differential recruitment of benthic communities on neighboring artificial and natural reefs (2007, methodology): “They were the most abundant stony corals at the Dolphin Reef AR in terms of percentage cover, yet were less dominant compared to other slowgrowing species such as Porites lutea found at the NR there (Perkol-Finkel and Benayahu, 2004).”
Coral recruitment and early benthic community development on several materials used in the construction of artificial reefs and breakwaters (2009, background): “…and benthic communities with abundance and diversity that is comparable to or greater than that of nearby natural reefs (Lincoln-Smith et al., 1994; Perkol-Finkel and Benayahu, 2004; Pondella et al., 2002; Rilov and Benayahu, 2000), and such structures may increase production of commercial species…”
Are artificial reefs surrogates of natural habitats for corals and fish in Dubai, United Arab Emirates? (2009, background): “They are rapidly colonized and usually develop fish and benthic communities with comparable or higher abundance and diversity than surrounding natural reefs (Bohnsack et al. 1994; Lincoln-Smith et al. 1994; Stephens et al. 1994; Pickering and Whitmarsh 1997; Rilov and Benayahu 2000; Pondella et al. ”
