Climate resiliency requires durable materials that heal nature, rather than deplete it. Thank you What Design Can Do for sharing the story behind the ReefCycle design!
"Most people in New York City don’t even know that there were oysters here, and that they’re gone, or that we’re working to restore them. I think within our community of volunteers, Reef Rockets offer an image of hope." 🌊 Reef Rockets are #biocement structures that mimic natural oyster reefs to protect shorelines, filter seawater, and boost biodiversity. Grown using plant-based enzymes and crushed shells, this material solution offers a cleaner, cheaper, and more durable alternative to industrial cement, ideal for supporting reef restoration efforts around the world. To learn more about the story behind the design, we caught up with creator Mary Lempres during her visit to Amsterdam last July. Read all about her vision for ReefCycle, her #RedesignEverythingChallenge win, and how she's tapping into nature’s genius — here: https://bit.ly/3YMGrAm
