Artificial Reef Evaluation

With Application to Natural Marine Habitats
Herausgeber: Seaman, William

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Combining the disciplines of engineering, economics, biology, and statistics, this is a comprehensive guide to the methods used to evaluate how well artificial reefs in coastal and oceanic waters meet their objectives. It covers everything from the design of reef studies and multi-disciplinary methods of investigation, to data analysis and examples of applying the methods to reefs built for different purposes. The methods examined in this book apply to other benthic marine habitats, such as coral reefs or "live bottoms", thus expanding the book's relevance to a wider audience and enhancing research efforts in the field of artificial habitat technology.
