©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.An artificial colonization substrate, sometimes referred to as a "colonization sandwich", that is made of 6 Lexan plastic sheets separated from each other by spacers. It is used to determine the extent of colonization and/or the diversity of settled organisms in a marine or artificial environment.
