Climate & Nature...

This, my friends, is a reefball.
While these man-made concrete creations don't directly affect our
architectural designs above ground, these new reef re-building
technologies have a huge potential impact indirectly on all of us.

Coral reefs are crucial to our ecosystem, and are sadly disappearing
everyday. This new technology gives some hope for the rebuilding of our
oceans coral reefs. These artificial reef modules have been created to
be introduced to natural coral reefs, to recreate a reef habitat where
one may have existed some time ago.

Yes we're on an island here in Brooklyn - but still pretty far from
being near a natural coral reef. However - if you happen to take a trip
down south, or are brushing up on your scuba diving skills, be sure to
check out the new rebuilding technologies - they may be more important
to our future than we think.

This article
describes how warming waters are affecting the bone structure of
juvenile reef fish, possibly causing them to lose their way during
their development stages of growth. This indirectly has a future impact
on us up north...
