Goal
Technique: Deployment of artificial reef substrate A simple benefit–cost ratio was used to indicate the localized monetary value for each of the substrates. In July 2013, 0.24 km2 of subtidal oyster reef were restored in Aransas Bay, Texas. A total of 12 rectangular reef mounds (each 27.4 × 18.5 × 0.3m) were constructed with three replicate mounds of four substrate types: concrete, river rock, limestone, and oyster shell. Spatial extent: 27.4m x 18.5m x 3 replicates Spatial extent 1521 ha as reported. Reported project duration 1,3 year(s).
