Description

This study was carried out to investigate the role of a seagrass bed, made from artificial materials, in a shallow subtidal zone. The artificial seagrass (ASG) units were made of simple and cheap materials such as stones, old nets, floats and ropes. Observations were made by snorkeling. Various fishes in their different stages in life (from larvae to adult) and benthic animals were observed to colonized the bed. The association of these marine faunas to the artificial seagrass units were recorded. Furthermore, the condition and the attracting capability of the ASG units through time were discussed. The disadvantages of the design of ASG units used in the study were likewise considered.
