  • This study aimed to observe the growth of Ecklonia cava on Marine Blocks and ordinary concrete blocks, and to survey the formation of seaweed beds on Marine Blocks. Marine forests play an important role as nursery and breeding spaces for commercial fish, shellfish, and other animals such as abalone and sea urchin. Therefore, it is important to study the growth of Ecklonia cava on a Marine Block in order to evaluate the suitability of this new material as artificial reef.
