Coral Artefact materials
CCA , our carbon-free “concrete”
CCA1 (patent pending)
Existing artificial reefs are largely made of concrete, a mixture of cement and sand. Sand often comes from the seabed. Furthermore, cement production is the one that releases the most CO2 in the world.
By replacing these raw materials with carbon-free cement (HOFFMAN) and crushed shellfish from recycling, we obtain a new generation concrete that meets the challenges of our time.
CCA2 (exclusivity contract with our partner)
Concrete is still one of the most used materials in the production of long-lasting works, contributing to the degradation of our environment.
Jérémy Gobé has developed with his partner (WEBER-SAINT GOBAIN) a second formula with less than 8% of traditional cement and usable in projection, molding or even stamped facade coating.
BCA, our biopolymer
BC A1 (patented)
So that no toxic material comes into direct contact with the coral, coral artefact develops its own material, a biopolymer from marine bacteria (POLYMARIS) collected, reproduced and transformed in Brittany. By incorporating extracts of natural elements promoting the development of corals (CODIF), this material has become the most compatible on the market with this animal and its environment.
BC A2 (patented)
The extraction of natural extracts integrated into the formula of our BC A1 induces an organic residue which is usually thrown away. We have developed a second formula based on the same marine bacteria but by integrating this organic waste compatible with the natural environment and more particularly the marine environment.
Our users have also noticed an antifouling effect , superior and faster growth as well as stronger cuttings than with usual supports and glues.
Corail Artefact solutions
Cutting kit
The problem
Coral cuttings are usually done with plastic or concrete supports and toxic adhesive agents.
Our solution
Jérémy Gobé has developed a set of cutting tools eliminating all the usual harmful elements.
An intelligent design and an ecological material for simplified use and suitable for all types of cuttings for corals not contaminated by the usual toxic substances.
Content and details
. Rings for soft and/or leafy corals
. Valves for branching corals
. Corollas for all types of corals
(several diameters and lengths available)
> in BC A 1
and our +:
. Multifunction support
(cutting rest, brush, support for supports and tools, etc.)
. Alligator clips and flexible

Reconstruction structures
The problem
Current artificial reefs are made of concrete or metal , non-biosourced materials that are not friendly to corals . They are also rarely available naturally or produced in situ and require significant resources for their installation.
Our solution
Jérémy Gobé has developed structures from these new materials which adapt to the Cutting Pack and make it possible to recreate the disappeared reefs in perfect harmony with the environment .
In addition, each of our solutions can adapt to resources and be produced locally .
They are also easy to transport and install.
Content and details
. Geometric structure for one-off action in aquarium and/or in situ
. Modular structure to easily and infinitely create large-scale biodiversity sites (several diameters available)
> in BC A 2 and/or CC A1
And our +:
. Cutting chain for hanging on any support (reefs, coral trees, etc.)

Regeneration Lace
in development
The problem
Besides cuttings and rebuilding reefs, one of the least known actions of coral regeneration is sexual reproduction . These animals lay larvae or gametes which, once attached, become primary polyps which clone and revitalize the coral tissue.
To collect these elements, plastic and nilon nets are used, putting the corals into contact with toxic materials at this very fragile stage.
Our solution
Jérémy Gobé has developed a completely ecological capture net since it is made 100% from BC A.
The 2.0 lace (made with SOLSTISS) used is also impregnated with natural elements that are attractive and nourishing for the larvae.
In addition, each part can be dismantled and replaced individually, respecting the principles of eco-design .
Content and details
. Biomimetic lace net to capture larvae and gametes
. Container adapter
. Airtight collection and transport container
> in BC A 2
and our +:
. Cutting chain for hanging on any support (reefs, coral trees, etc.)
> in PLA initially, then in BC A in the future.
Customized creations
We can adapt our materials , processes and solutions to areas other than coral regeneration, as long as they are projects aligned with our values .
These tailor-made projects or "featurings" are both a formal and philosophical association with our clients/partners.
