Abstract:Coral reefs face numerous threats from natural and anthropogenic stressors, impacting their health and associated ecosystems. This study investigates a method for optimal artificial reef (AR) deployment around Kish Island (KI) in the Persian Gulf (PG) to mitigate environmental impacts caused by marine tourism and safeguard coral reefs. Utilizing geospatial information systems (GIS) and fuzzy-based analyses, diverse criteria (such as water depth, clarity, proximity to natural reefs, and species diversity) were … Show more
