Increasing fishing pressure to meet the ever-growing demand for fishery products has resulted in overexploitation and decline in yield and diversity in several fisheries and irreparable damage to many aquatic habitats. Artificial reef structures (ARS) or artificial fish habitats (AFH) have been deployed all over the world for various purposes, especially for restoration of habitat and for enhancing fish production. The book Artificial Reef Evaluation with Application to Natural Marine Habitats is a comprehensive multidisciplinary guide to strategies and methods for evaluating performance of artificial reef, especially the much neglected and most important socioeconomic aspects. This book is recommended as an indispensable companion for anyone working or aspiring to work on artificial reefs.
