 Habitat


HÁBITAT  UNIT, for regenerating, recovering and renovating marine environments.


A good design of the elements used for the construction of an artificial reef is fundamental to attract animal life and to make weed, fish, molluscs, etc. quickly settle on its surface and environment; but also to support the impact of the sea.

 

The design of this unit is based on the creation of an irregular surface with solid forms and rounded edges where different colonies can settle. The irregular texture of its surface makes it easier for the different benthonic organisms to colonise the reef. In its numerous holes, fish can find refuge, some of then can breed there as well. These cavities are an important advantage for colonising species, by becoming a fixed fish habitat, a food resource and a reproduction zone.

 

We propose building artificial reef platforms with HABITAT units, 50 units long and 10 units wide. You can shape these reefs any way you wish but the best is to adapt them to the geomorphology of the corresponding zone.

 

This unit, once installed in degraded zones, will provide substratum for many marine species and maintain and restore an increasing biodiversity in the damaged zones of our coasts.
