Abstract
⺠North Sea oil & gas platforms may be biologically connected, forming an artificial reef. ⺠Some 60% of platforms in the southern UK Sector are directly connected by tidal flow. ⺠Only about 23% of platforms in the UK northern Sector are directly tidally connected. ⺠Mean flows connect platforms in 'strings' sharing a common streamline. ⺠More platforms are connected in strings in the south UK Sector than in the northern.
