BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF BENICÀSSIM II ARTIFICIAL REEF
The biological monitoring of the Benicàssim II artificial reef, a project involving technical assistance contracted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of the Generalitat Valenciana from HIDTMA ECOMAR, has as its objective to study and analyse the first five years of its installation, the processes and effects derived therefrom.
Amongst which of note were:
- Evolution of species populating the reef area.
- Deterrent effect of the reef on the activity of fishing trawlers
- Repercusions of the installation on small fishing boats
- Impact of reef installation on coastal dynamics. Evolution of module stability.
