17. Fish Reef, Seaweed Bed, and Other Construction Applications

In this chapter, the biofilm is applied to an artificial fish reef. Seaweed beds and construction sites are explained too. An artificial fish reef is defined as an artificially made place where fish gather around to take nutrition. An artificial seaweed bed can be defined as the place artificially made where sea plants can grow easily. Some infrastructural materials such as concrete, used vessels, etc. would be used in both places. In those places, materials and particularly, the materials’ surfaces should have characteristics to harmonize with their environments. To achieve the purpose, the application of biofilms would be the best, even though quite a few people have not realized the correlation yet. In this chapter, we describe what the artificial fish reef and seaweed bed are and how biofilm would correlate with the environmental friendliness of a material’s surface and how it would lead to achieve the purpose.
