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....
Over half of the U.S. coastline is found in Alaska, and the majority of the state’s economic activity occurs along the coast. Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska. The installation of artificial reef (AR) systems can mitigate habitat loss; however, few AR systems have...
Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska, and artificial reefs (AR) are an increasingly popular tool for mitigating habitat loss. Although well studied in tropical and temperate locations, less is known about AR efficacy in high latitude locations. Since ARs are heavily influenced by ecological...
