Ocean Reef

  • Christophe RullUS CHOCOLATE MASTER

Due to Global Warming, The bleaching coral is a big concern in our ocean as it creates food and habitats for thousands of species.

By using the technology, in particular 3D printing, samples of printed coral have been dropped in the ocean that  recreate habitats and support for new coral to grow with the help of scuba divers.

On this Ocean Reef, I am representing the coral with the help of the 3D Chocolate design, and the hexagon is the representation of the humans, our DNA, Us, that contribute to a solution for a healthier Ocean.
