Where are the most exciting Biorock projects?
Point, and Nizuc Point National Marine Park in Mexico In August 1999 the first of two pilot structures was placed in the reef of Sac Bajo, (next to Isla Mujeres, across from Cancun). Shaped like a triangular prism, the reef is approximately 3 meters long and 1.5 meters high. In March 2000 a second structure was placed at the same location, approximately 5 meters away from the first. This structure was named “El Doble Caracol” (twin snail shell), owing to its shape of a double spiral of steel construction mat. This structure is approximately 4 meters long, 3 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. Barnacle Reef, Ihuru in the Maldives The Barnacle Reef on Ihuru in the Maldives was built in November 1996. Shaped like a barnacle, the metal structure is roughly 20 feet long by 12 feet high and is submerged in about 20 feet of water. Solar powered.
