AI Technical Summary
Existing modular artificial reefs cannot adapt their facing area to changes in ocean current size in different seasons, leading to problems with reef stability and uneven resource distribution. Furthermore, it is difficult to ensure the distribution of resources on the seabed while maintaining ocean current conditions.
By changing the position of the movable components of the fixed and movable frontal surfaces, and altering the position of the frontal surface relative to the fixed surface, the size of the projected area of the movable and fixed frontal surfaces on the vertical cross-section can be adapted to the size of ocean currents in different seasons.
While ensuring the stability of the reef, we aim to improve the distribution of resources around the reef to the greatest extent possible, adapt to changes in ocean currents in different seasons, and improve the quality of the living environment for marine life.
