ReReef
Environmental + Technological Innovation
ReReef is a tool to help deep water coral researchers simultaneously collect data from remote reefs, while also serving as a reef regeneration platform. By addressing these aspects. We foresee ReReef as the future of the NEMO and Extreme E partnership.
When considering coral conservation, many immediately think of tropical reefs, as they are “sexier” (grow in warmer waters, come in a variety of colours and shapes, and are often home to beautiful tropical fish) than their deep-water counterparts. We wanted to use design as a way to address the lack of attention deep-sea corals face.
This is what we envisioned the product lifecycle to be for the ReReef system.
My technical drawings allowed us to show industry professionals how the construction of the ReReef data collection device would be feasible through “off-the-shelf”, proven components.
