   Dec 19, 2023 · Shipwrecks can facilitate ecological connectivity by forming stepping stones or connectivity corridors across the seascape (figure 3c), and this effect can be particularly pronounced in habitat-limited areas or in locations where shipwrecks are concentrated (e.g., Scapa Flow, Truk Lagoon). Microbial connectivity among shipwrecks is not fully understood, but evidence suggests that shipwrecks ...

   In shallow water, wrecks are more exposed to sunlight and wave action, speeding up their decomposition. In deeper, colder waters, however, aerobic bacteria don’t have the oxygen they need to corrode a shipwreck as quickly. In the Black Sea, for example, these anoxic conditions have led to the long-term preservation of some of the world’s ...

   Hear from a volcanologist, a marine biologist, and Alvin’s senior pilot about how the iconic sub enables scientific discovery in the far reaches of Earth’s ocean. In this episode, we take a look at the radiation all around us—its natural sources, its human applications, and their impacts on us and our environment.

   How do shipwrecks affect the environment?

   • By creating new places for fish and other marine life to live, shipwrecks could help mitigate the loss of reef ecosystems. When ships are abandoned in the ocean or sink due to catastrophic failures, they inevitably impact the surrounding environment.

   Do shipwrecks support ecological resources?

   • Shipwrecks also support ecological resources by providing underwater habitats that can be colonized by diverse organisms ranging from microbes to megafauna. In the present article, we review the emerging ecological subdiscipline of shipwreck ecology, which aims to understand ecological functions and processes that occur on shipwrecks.

   What factors affect the state of a shipwreck?

   • The state of a shipwreck depends on a host of factors: how long it’s been underwater; the materials it’s made from; the depth, temperature and currents of the water; whether it sank in fresh or salt water.

   What are the benefits of a shipwreck?

   • The benefits a shipwreck can provide to the marine environment vary a great deal on where a ship sinks and the ship's composition. For example, while a shipwreck that lands on top of an existing reef can damage large areas of existing marine habitat, a shipwreck near an existing reef can provide new habitat for marine life in the area.

   Can a shipwreck cause habitat degradation?

   • Although disturbance can degrade shipwreck structure, biogeochemical processes and destruction from organisms colonizing shipwrecks can also cause habitat degradation (figure 3f). Deterioration processes are linked to the type of material, commonly wood or metal, originally used to construct the vessel.

   What can we learn from a shipwreck?

   • Lessons learned from studying shipwrecks and their benefits to coastal communities can help society to make pragmatic, balanced decisions about active management, in situ preservation, and managed retreat, for example, within the context of future ocean governance and marine spatial planning.
