On the Issue of Choosing Reef Module Design

The article considers the issues of developing optimum reef module design. It is a small man-made feature which increases the underwater landscape heterogeneity by means of the flow-through development of the bottom relief into the water column. When creating a reef module, the study proves the feasibility of using as its base part an L-shaped beam, a primitive “bend of a flat interface between the solid and liquid habitats of aquatic organisms (hydrobionts).”
