Protecting our marine environment is not as important today ... as it will be tomorrow
Sustainable Oceans International is passionate about conserving the marine ecosystem because we all rely on our underwater landscape, from the air that we breathe and the food we eat down to our holiday fun.
Our experts find ways of reducing the impact of dredging and coastal development projects to protect coral reefs and keep projects on schedule. Conversely, we work to repair the destruction of coral reefs with our proprietary reef restoration and reef rehabilitation strategies.
As part of a sustainable development strategy we help you 'build with nature' including constructing artificial reefs; restoring fish habitats for recreational and commercial fishing, creating sustainable resort tourism programs and sustainable coastal management plans.
If you are in the process of:
- Planning or designing a coastal development
- Seeking a dredging permit
- Restoring a degraded reef
- Need training in reef restoration; or
- Require an artificial reef to improve fishing, compensate for impacts, reduce beach erosion or drive tourism
Sustainable Oceans International consultants have the experience to help your project succeed.
Restoring a reef or building a new reef is like building a beautiful city
Our philosophy is that constructed reefs (artificial reefs) should mimic natural reefs in appearance and function. Creating a natural looking underwater landscape complements the marine ecosystem, maintains biodiversity and maximises productivity. This is where our experts go beyond solving the immediate or short term environmental issues. We turn underwater slums into vibrant and healthy neighbourhoods.
Our team are passionate about conserving our marine environment and have a combined knowledge of over 60 years with marine impact mitigation and have worked on complex projects across the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Africa and Europe.
