Local fishermen’s perceptions of the usefulness of artificial reef ecosystem se...
Ramos, Jorge; Lino, Pedro; Himes-Cornell, Amber; Santos, Miguel N.Proponents of artificial reef (AR) deployment are often motivated by the usefulness of such structures. The usefulness of ARs is related to their capability of providing ecosystem services/additional functions. We present two distinct Portuguese AR case studies: (1) The Nazaré reef off the central coast of Portugal and (2) the Oura reef off the Algarve coast. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with local...
