Abstract
In Japan, the improvement works of revetment and offshore breakwater have been promoted for coastal conservation. However, recently in the coastarea, there are occurring lots of problems such as increasing of oceaniction and draining of natural resources. To cope with such problems, it is inevitably required that the coastal structures are to be improved on a multi-purpose basis and on the other hand, the related facilities are to be improved in view of environment like fishery resources.
In order to meet such social requirements, this Paper introduces a recommendable cross-section of the multi-purpose artificial reef which is observed most promising as a new model facilty for coastal conservation as well as fishery function.
