Large scale 3D-printed artificial reefs to restore coral ecosystems

Seaboost (Egis Group) and XtreeE have combined their skills in marine biology and large-scale concrete 3D printing to design, manufacture and immerse one of the most innovative artificial reefs ever built.
In a global context of degradation of the marine environment, concrete 3D-printing technology offers limitless perspectives for future ecological engineering and restoration projects from the Mediterranean sea to the Great Barrier in Australia.

That is a good idea.

Hello! such an amazing project. What was the implementation depth?

[@j4v-cyberpunk-music]

Great idea! I just wonder if a giant industrial level robot arm is a tiny bit over the top for something that could be created by a bricklayer with a basket and a plate?

C'est très intelligent

Great science!

They need to make it out of dead things and calcium if possible..... Also make it more difficult to stick an arm in.... Like throw some flesh in there to make pockets.... Uhhhh good luck.

But thanks for doing " something" .... It's better than " nothing" I think.

waste electricity, ugly, and not efficient design

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Just use ships (ship wrecks)

It is forbidden in many countries, especially in Europe and in the Mediterranean sea
