Reefscaper
Current methods employed to outplant coral microfragments during reef restoration are crude, time consuming, labour intensive, costly and unable to be deployed at scale.
Reefscaper is a hand-held device to streamline the outplanting process for divers through easier coral transport, deployment and cement application - limiting the number of stages carried out underwater.
The design includes a deployment gun, replaceable coral cartridges, a specialised growth substrate puck, a spacer design to ensure coral safety while in the cartridges, a reusable silicone pouch for easy cleaning of the cement adhesive and a transport box able to carry up to 320 corals.
