🎣 New artificial reefs deployed at Kincaid Lake! LDWF & the U.S. Forest Service installed 240 “Honey Hole” structures to boost fishing through the Good Neighbor Authority Project.📍Reef coordinates + more freshwater sites: #KincaidLake #ArtificialReefs

Successfully deployed our concrete samples for the #3DPARE project @AtlanticArea in the Leixões Harbour, Matosinhos. Let's see wich will be the best material to build our #3DPrinted 3DPrinted #ArtificialReefs!

After almost 2 years of research we finally reached a milestone for the #3DPARE project-our #3Dprinted #artificialreefs are finally deployed in Porto! 🐡🐟.Amazing to see that we have reef residents after just 1 day!.Big thanks to #Multisub and #PortodeLeixões. #CIIMAR

Artificial reefs may help tropical fish expand geographic range. #artificialreefs #shipwrecks

More cool stuff found in in the deeper areas of our island. what a great find!⠀.•.#nudibranch #underwater #ecodiving #ecodivers #ecointernship #reefcheck #artificialreefs #marineconservation #coral #reef

Hard-time sampling #ArtificialReefs in El Port de la Selva with @minasgp. #HardBiologistsLife

Finally got to dive on the #3DPARE #ArtificialReefs today! So exciting- the reefs are incredibly well colonised with algae, tube worms, sea squirts, starfish, crabs and fish 🐟🦀 I had a lovely 70min and 85min dive- back tomorrow to finish the surveys! #underwater #Surveys

Our researchers have found #artificialreefs can increase fish abundance in estuaries with little natural #reef. 🐟. In 6 man-made reefs per estuary, we saw overall fish abundance increase up to 20x over 2yrs. See:

A couple of screenshots from yesterdays #ROV survey in #PooleBay The @BlueRobotics #BlueROV2 did a superb job. We had amazing water visibility and it was great to see the pollack have returned too! #3DPARE #ArtificialReefs #Research #BU_TempReefs

We guess it’s true what they say…if you build it, they WILL come! Check out the latest discovery from the Reef Research team! #protectwhatyoulove #ocean #conservation #research #diving #artificialreefs

Ever wonder about the #ecological effects of #artificialreefs in the #ocean? . Turns out that the type (size, material) of structure makes a difference in the #fish it supports 🐡🐠🐟 & these communities can be similar or different to those on local natural #reefs! . #PostAPaper

Busy week 4 @FishEcoHBOI catching & releasing #Goliath #grouper w/ @LotekWireless tags & deploying arrays 2 track behaviors & fishing interactions on #GulfofMexico #artificialreefs! #LotekMeansHighTech #trackingnotslacking #Florida #offshore #tagging #fishsci #BigFish #BigData

Today you can watch my virtual conference presentation on the @AtlanticArea #3DPARE artificial reef units as part of the #ecsa58 confernce. Session 20 at 10.30am. #ArtificialReefs #3DPrinting #MarineConservation #EcoEngineering #VirtualConference

Signs of spring underwater on our #3DPARE artificial reef units. Lots of common whelk eggs had be laid in the holes and under the overhangs. #Recruitment #HabitatCreation #ArtificialReefs #Eggs #Spring

With lightning speed and ferociousness, the Barracuda is a fearsome predator. This Barracuda was spotted mid water near a dive site called Red Rock.⠀.•.#barracuda #instafish #ecodiving #ecodivers #ecointernship #projectaware #reefcheck #artificialreefs #marineconservation

.@NYGovCuomo has overseen the largest expansion of the Artificial Reef Program in state history, carried out by a multi-agency coordination and with recycled material from @NYSDOT, @NYSCanalCorp, and @NYSThruway. #ArtificialReefs

This photo shows why we like using metal as the base material when creating artificial reef structures.⠀.•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.#coralgardening #artificialreef #ecodiving #ecodivers #ecointernship #reefcheck #artificialreefs #marineconservation

NEW REEFS: Five new artificial reefs were deployed offshore in Okaloosa County in approximately 145ft of water. #destin #destinfl #destinfwb #okaloosa #artificialreefs #reefs #offshore
