<b>Built Marine Structures for Coastal Species and Habitat Resilience </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:#3C4043">Built structures, such as hardened shorelines, artificial reefs, and wind turbine foundations, are increasingly common seascape features. During this seminar, we’ll use observations from scientific
diving, remotely-operated vehicles, and sonar imaging to examine how built marine infrastructure functions as habitat for marine life, including reef fish and large predators. We’ll then discuss how intentional design and siting of built marine infrastructure
can help generate critical ecosystem services and potentially benefit both nature and people.<br>
