Danos Teams Up with CCA to Build 3D-Printed 'Cajun Coral' Reef South of Cypremort Point
Coastal Conservation Association's (CCA) REEF Louisiana Program completed construction on the South Marsh Island 235 artificial reef located south of Cypremort Point. The project was a joint effort with The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Danos and White Water Contractors.
CCA Louisiana deployed 128 “Cajun Coral” modules, created using 3-D printed concrete. The modules were grouped into four clusters, centered on the site of a recently removed oil and gas platform. The site was chosen by local CCA Chapter members, as the old platform was once an iconic hot spot for speckled trout. Located in about 20 feet of water, the new reef replaces that lost habitat, providing habitat for trout, redfish, and a diverse range of marine species, according to a spokesperson for CCA.
