Quantifying spatial extents of artificial versus natural reefs in the seascape
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 With increasing human uses of the ocean, existing seascapes containing natural habitats, such as biogenic reefs or plant-dominated systems, are supplemented by novel, human-made habitats ranging from artificial reefs to energy extraction infrastructure ...

Artificial Reefs in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Community Ecology Amid the “Ocean Sprawl”
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The northern Gulf of Mexico has been an important source for crude oil and natural gas extraction since the 1930s. Thousands of fixed platforms and associated equipment have been installed on the Gulf of Mexico continental shelf, leading to a pervasive ...

A systematic review of artificial reefs as platforms for coral reef research and conservation. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Artificial reefs (ARs) have been used on coral reefs for ecological research, conservation, and socio-cultural purposes since the 1980s. We examined spatio-temporal patterns in AR deployment in tropical and subtropical coral reefs (up to 35° latitude ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceArtificial reefs can play an important role in marine fisheries management by supplementing or enhancing natural habitats. Despite their increased use in recent years, the choice of structures used at artificial reefs remains largely haphazard due to the lack of information on reef structure performance.

Quantitative assessment of multiple fish species around artificial reefs combining environmental DNA metabarcoding and acoustic survey. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Since the early 1970s, many artificial reefs (ARs) have been deployed in Japanese coastal waters to create fisheries grounds. Recently, researchers began to use environmental DNA (eDNA) methods for biodiversity monitoring of aquatic species.
