[Coral-List] Artificial Reefs

[Rachel D'Silva]

Hey Coral List,
I'm looking for articles/papers with design and engineering options for major functioning breakwaters (shallow) combined with reef restoration. I like the idea of sections of the breakwater having a design component that can be head started with coral fragments as well as functioning as a potential dive/snorkel site. The standard designs and structures will function as FADs...but in over fished waters.. this really isnt enough.

I really appreciate any ideas/info you might have.
