Some much-needed postive news. Yet, during these bleak times, I can't help but think of the irony of the "Sinking of the SS United States." 🌟

#artificialreef #3Dprinting

I'm not sure how this can be 'similar to 3D printing'. It is, or it is not. 3D printed concrete structures already exist.

"Technology company Nastrx used a method similar to 3D-printing to design the reefs particularly suited for the marine climate."
They call it 'Cajun coral.' Louisiana anglers may soon call it a fishing spot.
A new artificial reef using 'Cajun coral' technology will cover 10,000 square feet, made possible with help from the Raising Cane’s founder.
