Innovative Solutions for Marine Biodiversity
Artificial reefs, known as reef cubes, are being developed to enhance marine biodiversity in depleted underwater ecosystems. These cubes mimic the structure of natural reefs by using recycled materials and eco-friendly resins, thus providing habitats for various marine species. The design focuses on creating textures and crevices that attract sea life, fostering a chain reaction of biodiversity from algae to larger fish. Early trials have already shown positive results, with colorful fish and crustaceans utilizing these structures as new homes in the ocean.
