Drawing inspiration from nature
</br>
to develop sustainably

We apply unique principles of **marine biomimicry**, inspired by **3.8 billion years of natural innovation**, to design coastal developments for **today and tomorrow**.
\
By integrating our original bio-inspired approach into a comprehensive process of **eco-design** and **optimization**, we develop **new physical solutions for sustainable coastal and shoreline management**.
\
These large-scale systems are made up of **bio-inspired and eco-designed modular units**, accessible to **all maritime stakeholders** seeking practical solutions to support and enhance their efforts to protect and restore the marine and coastal environment.


These innovative systems, the result of several years of Research and Development, are neither opaque structures designed to fight against nature (like dikes, groynes, breakwaters, or rock armoring), nor traditional artificial reefs. They are **ultra-porous, optimized systems, bio-inspired by the complex architecture of natural ecosystems** , and **permeable** to **hydro-sedimentary and bio-ecological flows**.

Innovation

We draw inspiration from natural rocky seabeds, mangroves roots, seagrass beds, kelp forests, and coral reef ecosystems to design **hybrid and intricate forms** that reduce wave energy starting from a storm threshold identified as destructive for beaches and marine ecosystems.
\
These patented internal structures are made up of various **meshes and three-dimensional cavities** that can also host marine life and **restore key ecological functions**, such as _habitats, feeding grounds, and nurseries_, that have been degraded by external pressures.

Bio-inspiration

To manufacture our modules, we rely on different techniques such as the latest **large-scale 3D printing technologies**. They offer great morphological freedom while **topologically optimizing** the shape of the modules to **minimize** the amount of raw material and **maximize** their structural strength. 

3D Manufacturing

Thanks to the use of **biogenic and bio-based materials** and the control of their physico-chemical properties, our modules are colonized within weeks to a few months by the **first links in the marine trophic chain** (_sessile species, ecosystem engineers_), rapidly transforming into a **rich and diverse ecosystem** for the surrounding marine life.

Biocompatible materials

Our **large scale** devices are made of **assembling our unit modules** on several linear meters. 
\
Their macroscopic shape can be **adapted** and **optimized** for the site of implementation. 
\
Marine life **rapidly colonizes** our solutions in just a **few months**, contributing to the **self-regulation of the system** through **trophic interactions** combined with the **hydrodynamics generated** by the modules.

Thanks to their internal geometry and the **custom-designed assembly and anchoring systems** developed specifically for our modules, they can be interconnected to form **large-scale structures** that adapt to deployment even in the **most dynamic environments.**

Assembly

We optimize the **macroscopic shape** and **placement** of our multi-functional bio-inspired structures to ensure **lasting performance** under any energy conditions specific to the deployment site.

Optimization

Depending on the study site, we can adapt the **macroscopic shape** of our devices so that they are inspired by **natural morphological forms** that participate in the **maintenance of coasts** and the **balance of ecosystems**, such as _sandbars, coral barriers or reef passes_.

Multi-scale bio-inspiration

Once installed on the seafloor, these devices serve as **large-scale habitats for marine life** and as practice aids for **wave-dependent activities and marine ecosystems** such as _surfing, diving, and snorkeling_.
