Dutch startup Reefy builds 17 “ReefBlocks” in the river Meuse to preserve wildlife and shorelines

Rijkswaterstaat, the Municipality of Rotterdam, Boskalis, and Reefy announced that they are testing the Reefy artificial reef system to assist nature restoration and conservation efforts in the Meuse tidal region as part of the “Groene Poort” or “Green Gate” initiative.

Boskalis built 17 Reefy units underwater in less than three days, creating a sustainable living breakwater after extensive planning and cooperation with all partners. The artificial coral is roughly 25 metres long and 3 metres high, allowing visitors to see its upper layer during low tide.
