Eco-engineered rock pools: a concrete solution to biodiversity loss and urban sprawl in the marine environment
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...
