Projects
In July 2024, we installed 14 artificial clay reef tiles on Hundested harbour wall and 10 boulder clay reefs on the seabed at DHI’s testing facility in collaboration with Anemo Robotics and DTU Aqua. Using underwater cameras and AI species recognition, we can see the impact of our artificial reefs on marine biodiversity, which includes a 400% increase in fish abundance and a 200% increase in species.
Danish Pilot Project
First Deployment
Date
June 14 , 2024
Location
Hundested, Denmark
Two ReefKasses, each containing 7 ReefTiles, were deployed and installed on the harbor wall.
Their development is continuously monitored by underwater cameras.
Time since deployment
Second Deployment
Date
July 19, 2024
Location
Hundested, Denmark
Ten BoulderReefs, in two groups of five Reefs, were installed at a depth of eight meters, fixed to the sea floor
Their development is continuously monitored by underwater cameras.
Time since deployment
With Seawilding, 30 temporary artificial oyster reef modules made in Aegironite were installed in Loch Craignish. Over the following year, we will assess the survival and growth rates of oysters attached to our reefs compared to oysters on the seabed to assess the suitability of our reefs for oyster restoration.
Scottish Pilot Project
Deployment
Date
March 22, 2025
Location
Loch Craignish, Scotland
30 modular reefs in Aegironite were deployed.
600 Flat European oyster spats glued to reefs, which will be monitored and measured to study the mortality and growth rates.

Closing Loops
ReefCircular is participating in Closing Loops, to explore our value chain potential together with MDT A/S and Wittrup.
Closing Loop’s purpose is to contribute to transforming Denmark into a circular and resource-efficient economy by
– Reduce CO2e and tonnage.
– Create strong value chain collaborations across companies and organizations – especially construction & facilities, environmental technology, textiles, design and furniture, food & bioeconomy.
Funding and partners
Closing Loops is co-financed by the EU – The European Regional Fund and Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse for the period 15.08.2023 to 31.08.2026.
