Proceedings of the 2nd Regional Workshop on Enhancing coastal Resources : Artificial Reefs in Southeast Asia, 9-12 Nov. 2004, SEAFDEC/TD, Samut Prakan, Thailand

Abstract

At this, the 2nd Regional Workshop the member country representative reports indicated that while the work is proceeding there are areas where little or no progress has been made for various reasons including a lack of technology and that of no financial support. In the areas where the work has proceeded the reports and stock assessments after the various proving periods show an increase in abundance of stock and a marked reduction in illegal fishing activities, particularly in the presence of artificial reefs.
