That equates to about 91 million tonnes of seafood that is consumed yearly - more than beef and poultry combined. |

 Since the early 1990s, Project AWARE has helped turn several ships into artificial reefs off the Canadian, Mexican, US, UK and most recently Kenyan coasts. Organisers thoroughly clean the ships and open many passageways to make them appealing habitats to marine life as well as safer for visiting divers. Project AWARE has also continuously provided support to reefball projects worldwide. These initiatives help take pressure off the natural reefs which are in decline. The theory is simple: the more people who use the artificial reefs, the fewer use natural ones. Natural reefs therefore have time to recover and replenish. However, it is not that simple and some issues should be mentioned concerning some unique aspects of artificial reefs and dive tourism. Several critical issues of national importance provide the focus for many debates regarding manmade reef activities. These include permit programmes, regulatory requirements, materials criteria, liability, research and evaluation, site location, and the role of all parties involved in artificial reef development, management and regulation. |
