Scientists from the Royal Institute for Marine Research conducted an experiment in the waters of the Wadden Sea, setting up «reefs» created from pear trees. Much faster than the researchers expected, life appeared there: the branches were overgrown with mollusks and algae, and marine animals settled nearby. At the same time, there are five times more fish in the reef area than in adjacent areas with a bare sandy bottom, according to the institute’s website. There are also shrimp, crabs and oysters.
