REEF ROCKET

Reef Rocket is a bio-concrete reef structure grown by plant enzymes. Biomineralization is a natural phenomena used my nature to construct resilient material, like that produced by oysters to grow their shells and reefs. By facilitating and expediting this process, Reef Rocket anticipates the need to decarbonize cement production by employing nature in the manufacturing process while engaging communities most impacted by rising sea levels in fabricating and restoring natural reefs that reduce coastal flooding, promote biodiversity, and filter water.
