Blue Latitude founders discuss converting oil, gas platforms into useful marine life habitats.
When large, hulking oil and gas platforms come to their useful end, new efforts to convert them into artificial coral reefs are proving successful. In California, 27 of these platforms off the coast have already become massive reefs, and a recent study by the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that “…the oil and gas platforms off California are among the most productive habitats globally.”
The lecture: “Rigs to Reefs: A Blue Solution to Repurpose the World’s Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms” will be Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. at the New England Aquarium Simons IMAX Theatre, Central Wharf, Boston
