Fisheries

For those in the aquaculture industry, Reef cubes provide an environmentally friendly method to help boost biodiversity, while helping companies to meet environmental targets. Reef cubes allow the farm to anchor their equipment in situ whilst preventing traditional materials like tyres filled with concrete or waste steel structures like old train wheels being introduced to the marine environment.

Added benefits to the farm owner include sustainable fishing around the Reef cubes for crustaceans and other species that aren’t currently farmed. Other stakeholders whose methods are non-destructive like tractional static gear fishers can also benefit from the spill over affect a vibrant reef can create in a restricted area. During decommissioning or relocation of the farm the moorings could be left in situ, serving a final purpose as a rocky reef habitat and saving costly removal and landfill charges.
