Review of Structure Types and New Development Prospects of Artificial Reefs in China

Artificial reefs are beneficial to restore fishery resources and increase production. Meanwhile, they play a significant role in improving ocean ecology accelerating the evolution of industries. Since generally affected by currents, waves, other hydrological factors, flow field around artificial their stabilities have become research hotspot recent years. Research on is systematic process consisting four aspects: Firstly, significance, definition, mechanism, present progress were introduced for detail. Secondly, development trend sit-bottom reef that floating summarized, respectively. Thirdly, it was found combination traditional emerging engineering has great potential practical engineering. Finally, existing problems related hydrodynamic characteristics China prospects proposed. The purpose this study provide scientific reference ecological sustainable large-scale construction ocean.
