  • Safe harbours for the intruders of the sea

    Open AccessLaura Avila-Turriago, Jasmine B D Jaffrés et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2026References: 2

    Artificial structures (AS) and natural reefs (NRs) have similar richness of invasives. • AS support significantly higher abundance of invasive species than NRs. • Inadequate study designs and scarce data create persistent knowledge gaps. • Anticipating invasions through planning and monitoring is the best strategy. Artificial structures, both coastal (e.g. piers, seawalls) and offshore (e.g. platforms), have been hypothesised to support greater a…

  • A global meta-analysis of ecological effects from offshore marine artificial structures

    Open AccessAnaëlle J Lemasson, Paul J Somerfield et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024Cited by: 1

    Marine artificial structures (MAS), including oil and gas installations (O&G) and offshore wind farms (OWFs), have a finite operational period. Selecting the most suitable decommissioning options when reaching end-of-life remains a challenge, in part because their effects are still largely undetermined. Whether decommissioned structures could act (sensu ‘function’) as artificial reefs (ARs) and provide desired ecological benefits is of particular…

  • A global approach to mapping the environmental risk of harbours on aquatic systems

  • Spatial arrangement of biogenic reefs alters boundary layer characteristics to increase risk of microplastic bioaccumulation

    Open AccessHyee Shynn Lim, Alexander Fraser et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Microplastics are now synonymous with human impacts on the environment and as a threat to marine organisms. Numerous taxa are at risk from microplastics including commercially valuable bivalves as seafood, which are also disproportionately important as biogenic reef-forming species that enhance biodiversity such that they are commonly protected under conservation actions. As a sessile filter-feeding organism, bivalves are highly susceptible to mi…

  • Eco-engineered rock pools

    Open AccessLouise B Firth, Keith A Browne et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    In coastal habitats artificial structures typically support lower biodiversity and can support greater numbers of non-native and opportunistic species than natural rocky reefs. Eco-engineering experiments are typically trialed to succeed; but arguably as much is learnt from failure than from success. Our goal was to trial a generic, cost effective, eco-engineering technique that could be incorporated into rock armouring anywhere in the world. Art…
