After the Jamestown Bridge in Rhode Island was demolished in 2006 concrete debris was placed in two designated inshore, artificial reef sites — Gooseberry Island Reef at the mouth of Buzzards Bay and Sheep Point Reef off Newport. Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport marine scientist Natasha Dickenson evaluated the morphology and colonization at the reefs (right photo) and ultimately determined the old bridge debris was enhancing marine resources. Dickenson recently discussed the project and other work, including a coral reef survey (center photo) and socioeconomic fisheries studies examining use conflicts on Navy ranges (right photo), during a virtual presentation about her career path to students in the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography.
