Marine life in places where are surronded by concrete is suffering : the fish is no longer around, the oyster and corals are disappering and the concrete is lifeless for decades. So, in oder to tackle with this complicated problem, Shimrit Perkol-Finkle and Ido Sella came up with an alternative "ECOncrete". ECOncrete can be used in collaboration with bespoke project designs within the marine, coastal and freshwater environments. This new concrete is designed with tiny holes which allows small fish to live in, seaweed can grow on top of it, corals and oysters appear around it. Interestingly, it is stronger than normal concrete. As a result, this concrete is eco-system for human, that is why these scientists are designing ports, breakwaters, seabeds and seawalls that are build with the ocean in mind. This wonderful invention were placed in Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York. All in all, I have to say without any doubt that ECOncrete is one of the most interesting things that the human has ever invented. It has a beautiful structure and it can deal with one of the most problematic issue for the human.
