In the marine environment, greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) is a rapidly growing field
that attempts to encourage native marine life to colonise marine artificial structures to …

In the marine environment, natural reef habitats are amongst the most threatened by human
activities. Although reef-based ecotourism can benefit local economies, dive tourism can …

Port areas are subjected to multiple anthropic pressures that directly impact residing marine
communities and deprive them of most of their essential ecological functions. Several global …

Coastal areas host a major part of marine biodiversity but are seriously threatened by ever‐
increasing human pressures. Transforming natural coastlines into urban seascapes through …

Redistribution of biodiversity represents a key challenge for understanding scales of spatial
variation in natural marine communities. With increasing coastal urbanization, artificial …

Introduced species constitute a critical bio-security issue worldwide and the precise
monitoring of their spread is crucial for their management. For species forming cryptic …

Myriad structures, from purpose-built concrete modules to decommissioned petroleum
platforms, have been deployed in US waters to create artificial reefs. Assessing their spatial …

Ecosystems globally are becoming increasingly degraded necessitating conservation and
repair. Alongside restoration of natural habitats, eco-engineering can mitigate the negative …

Marinas have a major ecological footprint, not only because of the pollution they generate
but also because of the introduction and spread of non-indigenous species (NIS). This …

To inform the performance of ecological engineering designs for artificial structures at sea, it
is essential to characterise their impacts on the epibenthic communities colonising them. In …
