Artificial Hard Substrate Garden

The main objective of this project is to develop an ‘Artificial Hard Substrate Garden’, a (semi) mobile modular facility facilitating in-situ and lab experiments on artificial hard substrate ecology. The project aims at optimisation of existing infrastructure and integration of additional infrastructure in the AHSG. In addition, the project will investigate how habitat complexity affects (functional) diversity of fouling fauna on artificial hard substrates in the marine environment.
