On a clear night, the bright lights of oil platforms sparkle in the Gulf of Mexico. Thousands of these platforms play an important role in the lives of underwater species. Tapping into years of diving experience, marine biologist Mary Wicksten looks at the inhabitants and visitors of these "vertical reefs”, explaining how life arrives on the platforms, what species settle and stay, and which ones visit then disappear.
