I came across an amazing article today about a new 'multi-purpose' reef that was recently installed off the West Coast of India. Although the construction occurred quite sometime ago, this is the first I've heard of it. I plan to do a little more research to see the total effects and other projects - look forward to another blog on this soon.
The reef was constructed by the company ASR. ASR is dedicated to finding solutions to preserve the environment from existing nature. One of ASR's projects is building man-made reefs to attempt to control coastal erosion. By using the waters own energy, the reef slows erosion by pushing the wave further offshore. The reef not only benefits the environment in a more cost efficient way, but it turns out it's providing some amazing surf. Perhaps it could have a positive impact in the local economy, surf tourism could be in their near future!
