Abstract:

ABSTRACT: In 2006 Alaska’s first artificial reef (AR) was deployed as mitigation for habitat lost due to coastal development. Surveys conducted the following year suggested AR assemblages resembled those of adjacent natural reefs (NR). However, there is little known about the ecological succession of AR’s long-term in high latitude locations....
