Entry Description

RE-HABITAT is a modular coral rehabilitation system with coral seedling on it. It imitates a symmetry sphere as the stable construction to defense ocean current.

After being severely damaged by blast fishing and coral mining, coral reefs can be rehabilitated over large scales using a relatively inexpensive technique simply through this design to fit any seabed. This bio-gallery Invites symbiotic algae to grow with corals through its various breathing holes in the main structure.
