Singapore’s High Relief Artificial Reef Read more about Singapore’s High Relief Artificial Reef This presents an overview of artificial reefs and its functions.
High-relief Artificial Reefs for Biodiversity Enhancement Read more about High-relief Artificial Reefs for Biodiversity Enhancement In response to the areal loss of natural reefs and degradation of existing reefs due to coastal urbanization, high-relief artificial reef structures were deployed in Singapore to assess their contribution to ecosystem recovery service in the vicinity of the Jurong Island Energy Hub. This webinar explored the opportunities presented around marine energy assets.
The Coastal Protection Benefits & Cost Effectiveness of Coral Reefs Read more about The Coastal Protection Benefits & Cost Effectiveness of Coral Reefs This presentation discussed the importance of reefs in providing significant coastal protection benefits by acting as low crested submerged breakwaters and serving as natural defenses. It also emphasized reef restoration and conservation as among the most cost effective investments in coastal protection.
