See our crate reefs, ribbon reef and bottle reefs here. The new reefs make an immediate difference to the marine life and we hope the larger structures will attract larger fish species.
The turtle and lobster reefs are comparable to reefballs (a patented technology) but they are a lot simpler and cheaper to make by poor village commuities.
