• The Coral Goddess is powered by asolar panel and a windmill, whichfeed it a completely safe lowcurrent. This small currentcompletely stops all rusting of thesteel and grows solid limestonerock over it. The process wasoriginally invented by the latearchitect Professor Wolf Hilbertz toproduce building materials fromthe sea.

Fishes are quickly attracted to the shelter andfood Biorock reefs provide. We get around 6

times more fish than nearby reefs. Fishesrapidly build up their populations.
