Ocean Rescue Alliance
Ocean Rescue Alliance (ORA) is a marine conservation and restoration non-profit dedicated to enhancing marine habitats and creating unique diving locations through artificial reefs made from innovative designs and safe materials. ORA uses a patented eco-friendly concrete mix that is pH-neutral and contains natural minerals like calcium carbonate and basalt fibers. This modifiable mixture supports natural marine life and enhances structure durability.
Flexible components require less material, improving stability, strength, and flexion for long-lasting artistic reef designs.
Reefs are stability-tested to withstand 50-year storm events.
ORA offers various reef modules, including:
