Summary We proposed adding habitats to port and harbor structures facilities when they were repaired because of aging. The port and harbor structures adding habitats were build experimentally in five ports in Japan five years ago. This study organized the effects on environment of the experimental structures using the five-year monitoring data. In addition, the methods of plan, design and maintenance of the port and harbor structure added habitats were summarized.
