ARC marine is transforming offshore construction by integrating Nature-Inclusive Design (NID) into protective infrastructure through its award-winning, patented Reef cubes®. Across offshore energy and coastal defence, traditional hard structures can damage the seabed and introduce plastic-based materials into the marine environment. ARC marine specialises in the design, manufacture and monitoring of low-carbon, plastic-free reef structures that meet full asset protection performance requirements while restoring marine habitat.
By accelerating reef creation at scale, Reef cubes® turn essential infrastructure into living ecosystems that support biodiversity from the moment they are installed. The approach enables developers to leave a positive marine legacy, aligning with global sustainability priorities including SDG 14 Life Below Water.
Designed for long-term deployment, these structures can remain in situ at end of life, reducing decommissioning liabilities, minimising waste to landfill, and creating lasting ecological value alongside critical infrastructure.
