Based upon papers presented at the Ninth Conference on Artificial Reefs and Artificial Habitats (CARAH), this reference offers a timely compilation of information to increase management options for fishery and natural resource managers. Highlighting the role of artificial reefs in fisheries management, the book discusses theoretical concepts as well as practical, worldwide applications of the use of these artificial reefs. It also provides guidance for implementing more effective fisheries management programs in the future to stem the tide of declines in fishery stocks.
