Engineering harbour surfaces to limit colonisation by invasive species - Article on Leverhulme Trust Website

Press/Media: Research

Description

A major concern for UK marine conservation is the introduction of invasive species, which cause ecological problems; Thomas Dyer's project team will test the theory that native species prefer surfaces made of the same rock as the local coastline and that invasive species are discouraged if new surfaces are rapidly occupied by natives. https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/research-project-grants/engineering-harbour-surfaces-limit-colonisation-invasive-species
