MOSES
Nature inclusive modular constructional element for the marine environment
Page last modified
August 4 2023
MOSES is a modular building system to construct nature-inclusive maritime constructions such as scour protection. MOSES functions as artificial reefs for a variety of marine life to find food, shelter and space to reproduce. The outside surface functions as hard substrate for shellfish and corals to grow on. To create different microhabitats, the modules can be modified with different dividers, and are thus not reachable for predators. One MOSES-installation can be a successful habitat for a wide variety of species.
