Marine Futures
Speculative design exploring underwater ecosystem preservation through biomimetic intervention systems.

Biomimicry
The Concept
As ocean temperatures rise, coral reefs face unprecedented bleaching events. Marine Futures proposes a symbiotic intervention: a network of autonomous, biomimetic units that monitor water quality and provide artificial substrates for coral regeneration.
Design Methodology
The form factors are derived from existing marine flora to minimize intrusion. The materials chosen are pH-neutral and encourage natural calcification, blurring the line between technology and ecology.
