Reef Colonisation Monitoring — Tracking Biodiversity Development

What is Reef Colonisation Monitoring?

KCC carries out periodic diver surveys of artificial reef structures to document species colonisation, biomass development, and habitat function over time. Monitoring surveys are carried out at defined intervals and results are compared against baseline data to track reef development.

What's Included

Diver survey of reef units at defined monitoring intervals
Recording of species present, coverage, and biomass
HD video and still photography of reef condition
Comparison of results against previous surveys
Formal monitoring report documenting reef development

Why This Matters

Regular monitoring of artificial reef colonisation demonstrates that reef units are functioning as intended and provides the data needed to assess the effectiveness of the reef programme.
