Abstract

From 2019 to 2024, the second phase of the INSITE (INfluence of man-made Structures In The Ecosystem) programme investigated the effects of man-made structures (MMS) on the marine environment. several areas of interest were explored, including marine predator foraging, capability of marine autonomous technology, fish aggregations, blue carbon benefits, efficacy of decommissioning strategies, influences on biodiversity connectivity, AI approaches to imagery analysis, and exploring risks from MMS-related subsea plastics. 

This report summarises key findings from the nine INSITE research projects, six PhD cohort projects and the INSITE Interactive data initiative.
