UAE, Dubai
Artificial reef
August 21 • 2023 (Ongoing)
With the ambition to create the world’s largest multi-purpose artificial reef complex off the coast of Dubai, UAE, the Fisheries Regulating Committee (FRC) initiated the Artificial Reef Program. Teaming up with the specialist firm Haejoo EnC, they piloted the project. Haejoo designed and constructed 10 Fish Cubes (FC) and 40 Marine Pyramids (MP), forming Dubai’s first purpose-built offshore artificial reef on November 4, 2021. Four dive monitoring sessions were conducted between February and November 2022.
RESTORiNG THE SHORELINES OF DUBAI
Diving into a world of innovation and ecological restoration, Haejoo proudly shares its journey in creating an artificial reef off the stunning shores of Dubai. With a year gone by since the inception of our pilot project, the results have been nothing short of extraordinary.
Hundreds of fish return
Our commitment to sustainability and marine life preservation came to life as we embarked on this ambitious endeavor. The artificial reef, meticulously crafted by our team of experts, has quickly proven its potential. Hundreds of fish species, once elusive, have found a new haven within its structures. This heartening resurgence reaffirms our belief in the power of collaboration between technology and nature.
One year anniversary
Haejoo’s vision extends beyond construction; it’s about fostering a thriving ecosystem that harmonizes with the surrounding environment. As we celebrate this one-year milestone, we reflect on the positive impact achieved and look ahead to a future where the ocean’s vitality is restored, one coral and fish at a time.
