ASR Multi Purpose Reef

India's First Multi-Purpose Reef Goes Off from ASR Limited on Vimeo.


When will we stop wasting money on sand replenishment projects that only last a few years, or build sea walls to protect coastal property that usually end up worsening the coastal erosion? Can't somebody design an artificial reef that would solve these problems and also create good surf? A frustrated surfer/taxpayer...

ASR is a company who instead of building walls to protect the coast, thinks of a way to provide sustained protection along with improved surfing conditions and ecological habitats through innovative methods.

Their reefs reduce erosion, enhance marine habitats and provide valuable recreational playgrounds for both locals and tourists. All of this has been made possible through their research of marine systems, science and technology. Their approach has been used to combat erosion, sediment transport, effluent dispersion, ecological impacts, environmental impacts, and poor surf.

Recently they completed a project in India transforming the surf into world class waves other benefits included preventing further coastal erosion and allowing another marine habitat to grow over time.
