When decommissioned in the sea "as artificial reefs" that is!

Decommissioned offshore structures could offer only limited ecological benefits, study suggests 🏗️🐠🪼plymouth.ac.uk/news/decommis…
ALT Researchers say more detailed investigations are needed into the best way to manage such structures at end-of-life, as repurposing them into artificial reefs may not provide the intended benefits
