Have a devastating impact on important habitats like reefs, but can technology offer a solution? well, adrian murray has been finding out about some conservation efforts to help bring back marine life in two very different parts of the world, starting in denmark. just off the island of samso, plans are under way to build an artificial reef, and i'm about to join a group of researchers on the water for a closer look. ready to go out. so we're now approaching the future reef site out here. the rocky reefs in denmark's cold waters are home to fish, seaweeds and other species. however, an area equ...
