Impact of Artificial Reefs on the Environment and Communities

Descripción

This book makes the connection between the tourism industry – as a major engine of the world economy – and the realm of artificial reefs, often inaccessible and forgotten by the public. By stimulating both those who work and in tourism and in artificial reefs to share experiences, transmit testimonies, make efforts, and develop new innovative and value-creating possibilities for society.

This theme has great potential and impact. It allows knowledge transfer between research science on artificial reefs, companies, and the tourism sector, generating wealth for society.

This book is of interest to all entrepreneurs, researchers, academics and students who work or are interested in exploring new ways of developing and practicing tourism, using structures that are submerged. The use of technologies developed by Industry 4.0 may have enormous potential in facilitating the establishment of bridges between tourism and reef structures and maximizing this potential.
