Rigs in Gulf of Mexico Could Become Reef Habitat
Texas officials pause removal of about 600 abandoned oil platforms in the Gulf while researchers at the Gulf of Mexico Institute study their ecological role. Funded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the four year effort weighs whether these rigs act as artificial reefs or draw wildlife from natural habitats, with implications for fishing tourism and coastal economies from Florida to Texas. The Houston Chronicle notes local knowledge matters in such decisions.
