Chris Goldblatt, CEO of the Fish Reef Project shared this impressive new video on the habitat beneath Platforms Ellen and Elly in the Beta Unit offshore Huntington Beach, CA. As Chris explains in the video, such valuable habitat will be needlessly lost if companies are required to remove structures down to the seafloor.
A National Geographic article discussed the marine life beneath Eureka, the third platform in the Beta Unit:
“Every square inch is covered in marine life,” says Milton Love, biologist at the Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara. “Sometimes there are so many fish that you can’t even see through them to the platform. It’s overwhelmingly striking.”
Jeremy Claisse, Cal Poly Pomona, called Eureka “as productive as any other marine fish habitat that has been studied around the world.”
