welcome

We specialise in the design and construction of:

Artificial reefs for fishing, diving, snorkeling

Compensatory artificial reefs for environmental permits, eg dredging and development applications 

Reefs for beach protection and tourism,   eg. multipurpose breakwaters

Fish friendly structures for coastal developments, jetties, resorts, marinas

Rest-In-Reef: memorial reefs and modules

 
 

Reef Balls are a scientifically proven concrete artificial reef unit now being used in over 59 countries to enhance, protect and rehabilitate reefs and beaches.

The key to their success is that they mimic natural reefs in form and function, quickly  increasing fish numbers and diversity as well as being rapidly colonised by corals, algae and sponges.

Carbon credits
Increased CO2 in the atmosphere has increased the acidity of the oceans by an estimated 30% already. More acid = no coral reefs or marine organism with a shell.

We reduce our carbon footprint by offsetting all our air travel and concrete used. Contact us for more details.
