Scientists placed 23 3D-printed reefs up to 1,100 metres underwater to test whether damaged coral habitats can recover
- PC: University of GalwayResearchers are installing 3D-printed artificial reefs on the deep seabed to see whether damaged cold-water coral habitats can be restored.
- Twenty-three of these structures have been placed off the south-west Porcupine Bank, off Ireland's west coast, and in the Bay of Biscay, France.
- The work forms part of the Horizon Europe project REDRESS, which stands for Restoration of deep-sea habitats to rebuild European Seas.
