finding out how artificial reefs could save our coral reefsSamenvatting
Due to the rise of global temperatures both local and global climate systems are disrupted or altered. This study is about one of the ecosystems that are most affected by climate change, the world’s tropical coral reefs. One way to combat this global decline in coral reefs is the supplementation of natural areas with artificial reefs. Artificial reef creation (ARC) could be a possible solution to stop the degradation of coral reefs and make them more resilient. There is no clear line on what ARC method works. This study tries to find what methods are available for ARC and tries to compare them to each other.Deze studie gaat over een van de ecosystemen die het meest worden beïnvloed door klimaatverandering, namelijk de tropische koraalriffen op aarde. Een manier om deze wereldwijde afname van koraalriffen tegen te gaan is het aanvullen van natuurlijke gebieden met kunstmatige riffen.
