Systems, devices, and methods for coral reef construction

Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods capable of constructing and growing new coral reefs. Such a system includes at least a first growth line having first couplers attached thereto, support frames supporting the first growth line above a seabed, and growth plates releasably coupled to the first growth line and supported thereby above the seabed. Each of the growth plates has first and second surfaces, a second coupler at the first surface thereof that is configured for releasably coupling to one of the first couplers of the first growth line, and a third coupler at the second surface thereof. The second surfaces of the growth plates are operable for growing coral thereon. The system further includes bases each having an anchor configured for securing the base to the seabed and having a fourth coupler configured for releasably coupling to the second couplers of the growth plates.
