Structure in the Sea. The science, technology and effects of purpose-built reefs and related surfaces/Конструкции в море. Искусственные рифы и их влияние на окружающую среду

Издание на английском языке
The book is dedicated to artificial reefs and other underwater structures created by man. It covers the history, design, ecology and technology of these facilities, as well as their impact on the marine ecosystem. The author analyzes how artificial reefs can contribute to the restoration of marine habitats and support the diversity of species, and also examines important questions about how these structures can be effectively used to achieve environmental and human goals. Simon shares his many years of research and experience, making the material accessible and interesting to researchers, environmentalists and a wide audience. The book serves as an important guide for understanding the role of artificial structures in modern oceans and their importance in the context of climate change.
