  • Biomimetic Sentinel Reef Structures for Optical Sensing and Communications
    Publication number: 20240164353
    Abstract: An artificial reef structure including thin tensile members as part of the structure. These tensile members readily accumulate marine life to create a more organic structure. The reef structure can accommodate a wide variety of ocean sensing and communication systems. Embedded lighting and electronic elements can be used to attract and monitor marine life.
    Type: Application
