Abstract
The North Sea, home to many different species including the threatened Atlantic cod, remains one of the most important fishing grounds in the world, but it is also a hotbed for oil and gas exploration. Numerous oil and gas platforms are reaching the end of their lifespan in the North Sea and are expected to be decommissioned and removed from the seabed. However, increasing evidence suggests that offshore platforms may function as artificial reefs and even benefit marine biodiversity.
