That’s great sad what we have been doing to our mother who birthed us all and we need to give her back the love she gave us

How are the tiles anchored to the sea floor. Won’t large waves move them to deeper waters or flip them once they have a tall enough cross section.

hope

[@andreac3362]

Did I miss the part about how the tiles are helping? This segment was not done very well.

[@andreac3362]

@Cmore Butts LOL

[@williamlouie569]

Now let mass produce those tiles.

Did he say that the Persian gulf gets up to 118 degrees??? Wtf bahah. How does anything live there

[@morningrays9899]

Stop coastal water pollution, then corals, fishes, plants, and everything else that lives in the water will be fine. Printed corals will only help the printing company, not really coral reefs.

This is something that could be cast not 3D printed this is an absolute waste of time and money 3D printers do not run off of solar

[@JustSomeWeirdo]

They can run off of solar just like any electronic, but you’re absolutely right that this is a waste compared to casting them.

[@oyuyuy]

Why couldn't you run it off solar? 😂
