Abstract: Artificial reef is an artificial facility used to restore and optimize the marine ecological environment and to build a habitat for marine aquatic organisms.It is also a basic ecological project in the construction of marine ranching.The selection and use of reef materials are directly related to the effect of artificial reef.From the six main categories of reef materials and the durability, environmental adaptability, biological affinity and economy considered in the use of materials, this paper summarizes the development status of materials used in the construction of artificial reefs at home and abroad, arranges and analyzes the characteristics and application effects of various reef materials of artificial reefs, and future development suggestions are put forward in the research, development and application of eco-friendly materials, new materials for resource recycling, carbon sequestration functional materials under double carbon goals and new artificial reef materials based on intelligent materials.It is expected to provide scientific reference for the selection of reef materials and the research and development of new materials.
