Sydney Opera House gets an Artificial Reef
After first announcing the project in 2017, a series of modular artificial reefs have now been installed alongside the Opera House sea wall. The pioneering project, led by UTS Professor of Marine Ecology David Booth and funded through a NSW Government Environmental Trust Restoration & Rehabilitation grant, aims to explore new ways to increase marine biodiversity in Sydney Harbour. We've been watching the structures come together here at SIMS under the watchful eye of designer Alex Goad so deployment day was very rewarding.
