ORAI Reefs for Complex Habitat

Creating artificial reefs to promote biodiverse fish recruitment while integrating applied restoration solutions to outplant corals, oysters or mangroves.

Creating micro and macro habitat to mimic natural reef geology.

ORAI Reefs for Coastal Resilience

Creating structures to reduce wave energy and protect against coastal erosion.

We are working with our partners at the University of Miami to design and implement solutions that will help protect coastlines and potentially mitigate the need to conduct beach re-nourishment.

ORAI Structure for Biological Restoration

Creating artificial structure to outplant corals, oysters, and mangroves to aid in restoring and creating nurseries.

We offer artificial reefs, seawall enhancements, and artificial bases to outplant various species.

We can create custom artificial structure for various biological purposes.

ORAI Reefs for Ecotourism

We design sites to promote ecotourism to help the local economy and further connect the community through tourism, education, and citizen science.

Join us at one of our sites with various programs or help be apart of the solution by adopting a reef, coral, or making your own!
