“…Extensive reviews have been previously performed, such as [17,18] regarding artificial reef (submerged breakwater) design, [19] concerning shoreline response, and [10,20] related to the ecological function. As a result, various studies have been conducted to assess and improve the hydrodynamic [21,22], morphological [8,23], and ecological [24,25] functions; some few works address two functions together, e.g., [26]. It is worth mentioning that the methodologies and data used to evaluate each function have not changed much in time, which evidences some homogeneity in the field.…”

Artificial reefs have proven to be an optimal and effective solution in stabilizing coastlines around the world. They are submerged structures that imitate the protection service provided by natural reefs accomplishing the functions of dissipating wave energy and protecting beach morphology, but also being an ecological solution. In this paper, 2D small-scale experiments were performed to analyze the hydrodynamic, morphological, and ecological behavior of an artificial reef constructed of modular elements. Two typical beach-dune profiles were constructed in a wave flume over which two locations of an artificial reef were tested. From these tests, transmission coefficients were obtained as well as the beach profile response to the presence of the artificial reef. These results are used to discuss about the hydrodynamic, morphological, and ecological performance of the artificial reef. The proposed artificial reef showed good morphological performance while its hydrodynamic function had limited success. In turn, the ecologic performance was theoretically addressed.

“…Artificial reefs have been used around the world mainly for habitat restoration [6,7] and beach erosion control [8,9]. Comprehensive reviews on their design and performance as well as on their ecologic and socioeconomic trends can be found in Baine 2001 [10] and Silva et al 2019 [11].…”

Artificial reefs featuring different shapes and functions have been deployed around the world, causing impacts on marine ecosystems. However, the approaches typically used to deliver topological complexity, flexibility and expanding requirements to prospective structures during the initial design stages are not well established. The aim of this study was to highlight the advantages and provide evidence on how modularity and parametric design can holistically leverage the performance of multifunctional artificial reefs (MFARs). In particular, the goal was to develop a parametric design for MFAR and establish a direct relationship between specific design parameters and the MFAR target functions or design requirements. The idea of implementing the parametric design for generating the initial biomimetic geometry of the individual modular unit was explored. Furthermore, possible ways of manipulating the geometric parameters of the individual module and the whole assembly were proposed. The findings suggest that, by adopting the developed procedure and the examples studied, several functions may be reached within a single assembly: the promotion of marine biodiversity restoration, the support of scientific platforms with various sensors, as well as the development of recreational diving and of touristic attraction areas. Acquired knowledge suggests that the concept of a nature-like design approach was developed for artificial reefs with varying scales, complexity and functions, which widens the range of possibilities of how smart design of human-made underwater structures may contribute to benefiting the near shore ecosystems.
