Artificial Reefs and Their Issues and Scientific Basis

It is not easy to properly manage the fishery resources mainly because we do not know how the invaluable resources act with social, economic, and environmental fluctuations in detail. Nonetheless, we have installed artificial reefs (underwater man-made structures) in the coastal waters and tried to take advantages over. One of the main trials is large artificial reef projects over the world, launched from the 70s and 80s, to promote fisheries. Accordingly, we have accumulated some aftermath (hoping it is not totally mess we made) such as issues accumulated and resolutions related. This study summarizes how the issues have been risen to the surface and how relevant resolutions have been constructed from the surface not only to defend the original sin that we made but also promote the future works on which we have to focus, especially emphasizing the so-called attraction-production debate and its solution.
