Project Activities

* Biorock Technology ,or mineral accretion technology is a method that applies safe,low voltage electrical currents through seawater,causing dissolved minerals to crystallize on

structures,growing into a white limestone similar to that which naturally makes up corals reefs and tropical white sands beaches. This material has a strength greater than concrete . It can be used to make robust artificial reefs on which corals grow at very rapid rates. The change in the Environment produced by electrical currents accelerates formation and growth of both chemical limestone rock and the skeletons of corals and other shell bearing organisms.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
