- India’s first 3D-printed artificial reef modules are set to be deployed off the Ramanathapuram coast in Tamil Nadu under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY).
- The project is a marine habitat restoration initiative aimed at improving coastal biodiversity and fish population recovery.
- The reef modules have been developed by Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions (IIT Madras-incubated startup) in collaboration with the ICAR–Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI).
- The modules feature complex 3D structures with crevices and folds to enhance marine life attachment and habitat formation.
- The pilot project will assess durability, ecological performance, and suitability for large-scale deployment in Indian coastal waters.
