08/2021-10/2021
Oil resources continue to dry up, the Gulf of Mexico's oil dig platforms gradually abandoned. One day when the abandoned"giant at sea" is no longer a symbol of destruction of the natural
environment, could it be an opportunity for ecological connectivity?
We use 16 abandoned oil rigs as the basis for our operating system. According to the suitable environment for coral growth,we form three interrelated areas.
The first is the outer quarantine zone, which mainly interceptsthe plastic through duck mouth, forming a first layer of protectivebarrier. Secondly, there is a transition zone on both sides. Algae can be cultured on the floating platform and then released underwater to provide a suitable symbiotic environment and protection zone for the corals. Microplastics can also be
absorbed to clean the sea water. Finally, there is the core protected zone, which links the artificial reefs under the sea ofsix platforms to form a coral growth zone.
