Because dive tourism is now a major commercial use of marine protected areas worldwide, the impact and damage to natural reefs caused by intensive diving are now an important eco-environmental issue. Redistributing divers to substituted natural reefs area is one management strategy recently used to solve the crisis. Lan et al. proposed the first deterministic fractal-based model to address the optimal...
In 2006, Lan and Hsui applied perspectives on landscape ecology to propose a spatially explicit model, and suggested that the cluster type deployment of artificial habitat in a marine environment might be better than other configurations in maximizing habitat complexity with a fractals approach. The limitation is that, however, it could only design a single large island pattern subject to its solving...
