In 2020, California placed more than 70,000 tons of rock on a sediment-covered seafloor; four years later, fish biomass across the restored reef complex had risen 166%
Scientists restored a damaged marine habitat off California's Palos Verdes Peninsula. Quarry rocks created a new rocky reef, reviving a buried ecosystem. Fish biomass increased significantly on the restored reef modules. Native species quickly colonized the new habitat, showing ecological gains. This project demonstrates habitat restoration's rapid impact on marine…
