Benefits of Artificial Reefs

The most common use for artificial reefs has been to promote fishing and increase fish density. However as the practice of artificial reefs has developed and research has increased, numerous other applications have been found. Benefits include an increased marine life production and biodiversity, tourism promotion (from recreational diving and fishing to sportfishing industries to underwater tour companies), preservation of local natural environments, and even improved water quality.
