CORALations Reef Ball Projects-Reef Restoration and Research Using Reef Balls
CORALations is a distributor of Reef Ball artificial reef systems for the island of Puerto Rico. These artificial reef modules provide habitat for fish and settlement areas for corals. Reef Balls are made from environmentally friendly concrete designed to mimic natural reef in appearance and last for over 500 years.
CORALations and Puerto Rico's Department of
Natural and Environmental Resources worked on artificial reef investigations using the environmentally friendly Reef Ball
artificial reef systems in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
Reef Balls are inexpensive to deploy and have proven stable during tropical storms and hurricanes. For coastal communities interested in participating in these highly visible artificial reef projects, CORALations will contribute matching funds, evaluate locations, obtain permits and provide free training.
NOTE: As a non-profit organization, CORALations puts revenue generated by the leasing of these systems toward the funding of its conservation programs in the Caribbean.
