Team Orz: Shell of Hope

Introduction:

Rising from the ocean floor, our artificial reef blends seamlessly with marine environments, addressing oyster reef degradation. Made from upcycled oyster shells and 3D-printed with biodegradable materials, it maximises surface area for oyster growth and biodiversity. Its modular design ensures easy deployment, restoring fragile ecosystems while sequestering carbon, protecting coastlines, and providing marine habitats.
