What is artificial reef?
An artificial reef is any manmade underwater object (e.g. sunken ships, obsolete railroad cars, custom made concrete reef material) that serves the same ecological function as a natural reef.

What is the main benefit of artificial reef?

How do artificial reefs change their local environment?
They increase the population of marine life in and near the artificial reef.
What is artificial wood?
Artificial wood, also known as faux wood, is a man-made material designed to mimic the appearance of real wood. It is typically made from a combination of plastic and wood fibers, providing a durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood. Artificial wood is commonly used in decking, flooring, and furniture.
What are the kinds of wood shredders that are used to make artificial wood from forest wastes?
That is somewhat vague. are you talking about engineered wood? such as plywood, OSB, and particle board?
What can become an artificial reef?
Sunken ships have been used to fulfill this purpose.

Why do fish congregate around artificial reefs?
The artificial reef is "substrate" (surface material of reef). Once the reef is placed on the bottom, marine life in form of algae, barnacles, some types of coral and other small marine animals begin to attach themselves to the reef. Small fish, crabs and other crustaceans arrive after that to eat the growth on the reef. Larger fish show up to eat the smaller fish and crabs, etc. Each animal uses the reef for food and protection (habitat). Depending on the PH of reef material this process takes place over a few months or years. The best type of reef is as large and tall as possible and made of a natural material PH balanced to allow all the available marine life to live and grow on the reef. Artificial reefs produce fish at twice the rate as a natural reef does (Dr. Bob Ship, University of South Alabama). Artificial reefs can enhance the fishery in areas of sand with no natural substrate. Artificial reefs can take the pressure off natural reefs due to fishing and tourism. Artificial reefs come the form of ships, concrete rubble and manufactured units. See the link in the Related Links for more information.
Types of artificial wood?
Artificial wood is made of many things, but oftentimes, it is made of plastic. To be specific, it can be made of old tires, soles of shoes, etc. It is a sort of plastic wood. Meaning its not totally plastic, but not completely wood either. It is a blend of plastic and wood.
