Running projects
Koh Tao, Thailand
In collaboration with Thailand’s Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) and with the financial support of the Contribute Foundation an initiative has started to restore the marine ecosystem around Koh Tao in the coming years. A local production has been set up to increase the positive impact together with locals and tourists.
Hengistbury Head, England
With the renovation of the Hengistbury Head long groyne, the BCP Council and Boskalis want to maximize their positive impact on the environment. For this project ReefSystems has delivered 25 artificial reefs and 8 Tidal Pools with which new habitats are created for both marine- and land-based wildlife. These nature-inclusive solutions help boost local biodiversity while integrating seamlessly into the coastal infrastructure.
Haarlem, the Netherlands
ReefSystems contributed to an infrastructure project along Zuid Schalkwijkerweg by bringing sheet piles to life. In collaboration with local authorities and partners, 74 custom planters were installed to support wetland vegetation, improve water quality, and enhance biodiversity. This transformed hard infrastructure into thriving micro-ecosystems, combining safety, sustainability, and ecological value.
Oegstgeest, the Netherlands
In collaboration with Royal Haskoning DHV and Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland we are investigate how SPECTER planters can help to achieve the KRW-goals set by the Water Framework Directive. Over a length of 400 meters, 215 SPECTER planters have been installed in the summer of 2024 for this project.
Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago
The Buccoo Reef in Tobago is important for the economy of Trinidad & Tobago. Although the marine ecosystem is degraded, there is still a chance to revive this ecosystem. Together with the local authorities we have set up and coral reef restoration experiment to find out how we can effectively scale up and increase our impact.
Aruba
Through the EU-funded RESESMBID's 'Turning the Tide' program artificial MOSES reefs have been installed along the south coast of Aruba to restore marine biodiversity and create economic resilience for the people living on the Island.
Dordrecht, the Netherlands
With Gebr. de Koning and Gemeente Dordrecht the sheet piles at Stadswerven have been ecologically improved. With SPECTER-planters, swamp plants can now grow here to improve water quality, to create habitats for fish and to create a greener street view.
Shimoni, Kenya
In collaboration with REEFolution and Wageningen University & Research and Boskalis we've started a coral reef restoration project in Shimoni, Kenya. Together with the local community we will restore multiple acres of reef in the future.
Groningen, the Netherlands
Commissioned by Waterschap Noorderzijlvest and in collaboration with Arcadis and Heijmans the biggest artificial reef pilot in history has been installed in the Wadden Sea to research how we can improve this ecosystem.
Utrecht, the Netherlands
With Samen voor Biodiversiteit, Gemeente Utrecht and Hoogheem-raadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden some sheet piles in Utrecht have become ecologically enhancing.
Brooklyn, New York
In collaboration with Space & Matter we will investigate the possibilities of designing floating foundations as an underwater landscape in Brooklyn, New York.
Utrecht, the Netherlands
With Gemeente Utrecht and Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden 180 habitats were installed in the Catharijnesingel in the centre of Utrecht to create habitat for local- and migrating fish species
Haringvliet, the Netherlands
ReefSystems has installed three pilot installations in Haringvliet with Wageningen University. The structures are placed in three different ecosystems.
Portobelo, Panama
With Boskalis, SCUBAPANAMA, Reef2Reef Foundation Panama, Maritime University of Panama and Coralive.org. we are testing MOSES in the Caribbean Sea.
Schipluiden, the Netherlands
Together with Hoogheemraadschap Delfland and Van Halteren Infra we have created a green aquatic wall full of life in Schipluiden with various SPECTER to support biodiversity in the project area.
Utrecht, the Netherlands
In collaboration with Gemeente Utrecht, 10 SPECTERs were installed to improve biodiversity, water quality and street view in the center of Utrecht.
Zuid-Holland, the Netherlands
In collaboration with Provincie Zuid-Holland the first SheetPile Eco-Territorial Reinforcements (SPECTER) are installed in three different locations.
