Reef Rocket is a biocement reef structure grown by plants. Reef Rocket anticipates the need to decarbonize cement production by employing nature in the manufacturing process while engaging communities most impacted by rising sea levels in fabricating and restoring natural reefs that reduce coastal flooding, promote biodiversity, and filter water.
