Why
Sculptural Nurseries?
Coral reefs are seriously threatened, and building sculptures provides physical support and awareness to the cause.
Benefits
of Our Work
Our sculptural installs decrease a percentage of diver traffic away from fragile reef systems.
When installed, our sculptures can be planted out with coral as a first stage coral nursery.
Our sculptures are planted with heat resistant coral.
After being planted out with coral, our sculptures become an artificial reef.
Once the coral on our sculptures has grown, fragments can be harvested and planted onto a secondary nursery or back onto the reef for restoration work on the existing reef.
Dive operators, hoteliers, restaurants and the local communities have an added revenue stream and become stakeholders.
In some cases, our sculptures can be used as a study site for scientists to have a controlled environment to study coral.
Awareness will be driven by divers diving on our sites and by social media. Our sculptures are artistically designed and aesthetically appealing.
