Complexity–biodiversity relationships on marine urban structures: reintroducing habitat heterogeneity through eco-engineering
Urbanization is leading to biodiversity loss through habitat homogenization. The smooth,
featureless surfaces of many marine urban structures support ecological communities, often …

Make a difference: Choose artificial reefs over natural reefs to compensate for the environmental impacts of dive tourism
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 …
