Artificial rockpools in south of England successfully attract sea creatures

Creatures like crabs, barnacles, molluscs are drawn to havens built in Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight

Artificial rockpools in Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight have successfully attracted sea creatures, which have made them their home.

Scientists have hailed the discovery, saying the false crevices can be added to sea defences and other human-made coastline developments to create habitats for sealife such as crabs, barnacles, molluscs, small fish, sea squirts and seaweed.
