RAKNOR has manufactured 600 Reef Balls for the enrichment of the Ras Al Khaimah Shoreline.
These Reef Balls are manufactured with a marine friendly concrete which has a coarse open texture that encourages flora and fauna to settle and build natural reef which is attractive for divers and protects nature.
Originally developed for coral reef restoration in mind, the innovative Reef Ball Technology is now applied to oyster habitats, estuaries, fisheries, mangrove restoration and applications as diverse as anti-trawling devices, lobster culture, recreation and art projects.
In breakwater applications Reef Balls are unrivaled in the abatement of shoreline erosion and are breaking the old paradigm of hard barriers to a naturally integrated transition from land to sea, providing habitat while also protecting shorelines.
