03. Calcium Carbonate
CalciCoral is an artificial coral designed with calcium carbonate from shells and a binding agent. Calcium carbonate is a key mineral for marine organisms to build their structures, and it dissolves in acidic environments, reflecting the impact of ocean acidification due to human activity. Designed with fish movements, CalciCoral embodies the idea of “designed by fish, for fish,” aiming to increase marine biodiversity while engaging the public in ocean conservation and regeneration.
