Sediment transport around artificial habitat which is induced by the change of flow due to installation of the structure plays a role not only as a defect function of subsidence and burial but also bottom-environment control function. Using Side Scan Sonar (SSS), Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and Scuba diving equipment, we investigated a facility condition of a dice reef installed on Pohang coast of the East Sea. Investigation result, at total 139 place, 10,526 dice reef was discovered. As the level which affects function of the above 0.5m, the case 4 place of burial (0.5~1.2m, 2.9%), scour appeared with 3 place (0.5m, 2.2%) and broken was appeared with 183 artificial reefs (1.74%). As a result, dice reef installed Pohang coast appeared to mostly stable.

Community structures and fish densit were investigated on three different types of artificial reefs, dice, turtle artificial reef and tubes, constructed in the Korean waters. Variations of fish fauna according to type of artificial reef and the proper artificial reef in each area for optimizing harvest were discussed. Fish were captured by trammel gill net during May, June, September and November, 1988 and both identified and counted. Fourty-five fish species were found in the artificial reefs. Of these, Sebastes spp., Hexagrammos otakii, Pleuronectidae, Navodon modestus and Stephanolepis cirrhifer showed high occurrence-frequency. The dominant species groups were coastal settlement, demersal or rock fishes such as Pleuronectidae, Rajiformes, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, Navodon modestus, Hexagrammos otakii and Sebastes spp. in all of the Artificial reefs except the oceanic area of southern waters. Scomber japonicus was predominant in the oceanic area of southern waters. Composition of demersal, rock and pelagic fishes were different depending on the types of artificial reef. Dice artificial reefs were occupied by rock fish, on the other hand turtle artificial reefs were dominated by dermersal fish. Fish density was high at the dice artificial reef in all survey areas except the middle area of Eastern waters, with high fish density evident in the Tube artificial reef. Fish community structures were remarkably different between Dice and Turtle artificial reefs. The Tube artificial reef showed intermediate characteristics between the above two types of artificial reefs. The coastal areas of Southern waters and the middle and southern areas of Western waters revealed similar fish fauna. Results from the oceanic areas of Southern waters were well associated with the middle and southern areas of Eastern waters.

This study carried out several laboratory tests such as water tank settlement test and two-dimensional water flow test to investigate settlement and scour characteristics of a square-shaped hybrid reef which was reinforced with geogrid. In addition, numerical analysis was also performed to find out scour characteristics of the square-shaped hybrid reef with different placement types (type A; straight placement type, type B; zigzag placement type). Laboratory test results indicated that settlement and scouring depth significantly reduced in hybrid reefs reinforced with geogrid, compared with those without reinforcement. Two-dimentional water flow tests and numerical test results also showed that scouring depth and flow velocity of placement type A more decreased than those of type B.

Artificial reef refers to various structures that facility to construction field format and spawning of marine organisms, sea ranch, forest of the sea, and sea jungle artificially in water, Build a production stable base of marine products, thereby contributing to an increase in the income of fishermen. In the management of an artificial reef, the calculation of the number of square reefs may be that it is a method to perform the submersible is an important part of maintenance is correct. However, cost and diving personnel, depending on the diving situation, there is a difficult thing to implement to coast across the country. Therefore, In this study, We calculated the volume using the multi-beam Echo Sounder and side scan sonar for the reefs of the rectangle are the existing installation. And proposes the improvement of the estimation in accordance with the volume coefficient reef.

To estimate the status and volume of artificial reefs(ARs) deployed at the sea bottom in fishing grounds, this study assessed the initial volume of ARs, the cubic volume of AR groups, and the porosity of each AR using image data collected during a survey using a multi-beam echo sounder(MBES) and a side scan sonar(SSS). These results were compared with data collected during diver surveys and used to develop a new method and prediction formulas for countermeasures, facility volume, and efficient use of volume for deployed ARs(cubic concrete). The field survey results for nine ARs deployed in the Busan Sea region were calculated, and the average value of coefficient k(indicating the efficient use of volume ratio) among ARs was 0.753, and the correlation between coefficient k and year(Yr) of deployment was calculated as k=0.0023Yr+0.725. The relationship between these two factors was poor. In years following the deployment of artificial reefs, coefficient k and year of deployment were not correlated, in spite of the hardening ground due to subsidence and the reduced distance between ARs. Consequently, it is reasonable to suppose that coefficient k was defined by bottom surface conditions and initial deployment conditions.

This study describes the characteristics of accretion and scour around artificial reefs in Korea. The survey for accretion and scour was made at a dice reef set consisting of 137 dice reefs. The volume of a dice reef unit is 8 $m^3$. The reef set was placed on the muddy sand at 21.6 m in November of 1999. Equipment used in the survey includes Side Scan Sonar, Multi Beam Echo Sounder, Sub-Bottom Profiler and water current meter. According to the results, the artificial reefs are heaped up at two to three times (4 m) the height of the dice reef. The maximum current around the artificial reefs was 81.5 cm/sec at the ebb tide and 72.7 cm/sec at the flood tide. Scour around artificial reefs occurs upstream to the flow while accretion is formed at wake zone in the downstream. The height of accretion ranges from 2.4 to 3.0 m. The crest of the accretion is formed at the distance of about 10 m from the edge of the reef. The slope of accretion is formed steeply at the vicinity of the reef which is at right angles to the direction of main current, and grows gently lower with the increased distance from the reef. Scour is continuously caused by upwelling from the reef set and by side currents that flow parallel to side of the accretion. Also, scour takes place on the deposited sediment rather than on the remaining bottom sediments. This means that, once fully formed, the depth of scour gully on both sides to the direction of main current hardly changes.

Tidal currents were observed at 1 station of artificial reefs group during 15days. Maximum current was 82.4cm/s, and mean current showed 12.8~28.0cm/s, respectively. Flood currents magnitude were bigger than ebb ones due to wake region. To grasp sediment distributions, sediments were sampled at 4-direction(E, W, S, N) around each station. According to the results of sample analysis, sediments showed different distribution by main current direction. It showed that sediments distribution at front and back of artificial reefs were differently occurred by change of main current direction. It suggest that artificial reefs need to install after confirming tidal currents direction and sediments type.

A precise echosounding system to investigate the topographical characteristics of the coastal fishing ground was composed of a public-DGPS receiver, a single beam echosounder and a survey software. To confirm the usefulness of the system, a set-net fishing ground and the distribution of artificial reefs were surveyed. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The 2-D positioning error of the public-DGPS receiver with a DGPS mode and a GPS mode was 5.47 m, 7.03 m, respectively. 2. The experimented set-net fishing ground was located on the level ground at the depth of 9-10 m, a small size valley 1-2 m deep and approximately 10 m wide was found at a distance of 120 m from the set-net to the south. 3. In the artificial reefs' water area near the Jaran Bay, it was confirmed that twenty rectangular artificial reefs were established by the piece at the depth of 15-25 m and a natural reef 5-8 m high on the sea bed was located near the group of artificial reefs. 4. It was confirmed that the precise echosounding system was a useful tool in the pre-study to choice an appropriate water area to provide the artificial reef.
