Concrete Forests in the Ocean

Shuchita Jha

Coral reefs, the "rainforests of the sea," support 25% of marine life but face grave threats like rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and human activities. These dangers lead to coral bleaching and the loss of vibrant ecosystems.
But artificial reefs—human-made structures like concrete reef balls designed to mimic natural reefs help regenerate marine biodiversity, from fish and turtles to corals.
In this video, explore how these concrete creations restore underwater ecosystems, why careful planning is vital, and the incredible impact of artificial reefs on ocean health.
