Artificial reefs (ARs) are designed to mimic natural habitats and promote marine life. Their effectiveness is however debatable can depend on factors such as structural complexity construction material. Old artificial (OARs) were made of concrete mold simple geometric shapes, limiting their ability the reefs. Recent advancements in three‐dimentional (3D)‐printing technology have enabled creation 3D‐printed (3DRs) with biocompatible material complex structures that better simulate habitats. We employed underwater hyperspectral estimate performance these compare benthic photosynthetic signal (NATs) those ARs (OARs 3DRs) coastal area north‐western Mediterranean (France Monaco Principality). expected differences reflectance signals between OARs NATs, closer NATs 3DRs than OARs. Underwater was able detect higher chlorophyll‐ a derived Moreover, magnitude smaller NATs. Although not capable mimicking reefs, use might ameliorate for reconciliation.

Coral reefs are three-dimensional biogenic structures that provide habitat for plenty of marine organisms; yet, coral deteriorating worldwide. Hence, it is essential to identify suitable substitutes such services. This study examines reef fishes’ behavior and reactions three-dimensional-printed (3DP) corals based on scanned Stylophora pistillata, as well modified 3DP models. In particular, unresponsiveness the color, shape, morphology, material models both in vitro situ experiments was investigated. fishes responded demonstrated their usage a range Moreover, greater number fish species interacted more with than they did live corals. Furthermore, specific species, Sea Goldies (Pseudanthias squamipinnis), showed preference other preferences model shapes. The current results show can substitute certain types
