Coil Reef Project
Over the course of this summer research project, we investigate the plausibility of placing a titanium coil structure to artificially induce reef growth for the purpose of wildlife rehabilitation, increase biodiversity in influenced biospheres, and reduce erosion caused by wave energy. In order to do this, a titanium coil structure was fabricated, assembled, and mounted to the underside of the Cal Poly Pier where it is routinely monitored for wildlife growth.
