CCA Adjunct Professor Alex Schofield was recently featured on ABC7 Eyewitness News, showcasing his innovative research into 3d printed calcium carbonate structures that aim to help restore coral reefs and increase biodiversity in the marine environment. Schofield’s Coral Carbonate research is developed through his practice Objects and Ideograms, and a series of his custom-made hanging fish house prototypes are currently suspended underwater from the Buoyant Ecologies Float Lab, an ecological pilot project developed by AEL and moored in Oakland’s Middle Harbor.
