7. Modular Artificial Reef Structure
MARS has been designed to help mitigate the damage that modern human activity is having on our reef ecosystems. Population growth, climate change, pollution, destructive fishing practices, increased water runoff and dredging are just some of the many contributing factors leading to the quick decline in our marine ecosystem’s health.I have been fortunate to travel to dive destinations around the world where it is virtually impossible to dive a reef ecosystem and not witness the damage inflicted by humanity. Whether it’s a clumsy tourist bumping off a piece of stag horn coral on the Great Barrier Reef or the gaping holes inflicted by dynamite fishing in the reefs of the Philippines, our impacts are constantly present.
