WHO WE ARE

WE ARE BLUECUBE

We are a dynamic team of ecologists, concrete manufacturers and designers dedicated to crafting habitats for aquatic species.

Our passion lies in designing and producing ecosystems on artificial coastal structures, fostering an environment where marine life thrives and biodiversity flourishes.

WHAT WE DO

At BlueCube, we are creators and innovators.

Our expertise lies in evaluating the possibilities of marine infrastructure for enriching biodiversity. We strive to strike the perfect balance between environmental considerations, infrastructure functionality, and eco-engineering solutions.

With precision and care, we fashion caves, holes, and textures that serve as irresistible havens for marine life. These carefully crafted features attract and support a diverse array of aquatic species.

Why we do it

At BlueCube, we acknowledge the potential negative impacts of coastal infrastructure on biodiversity.

Our mission is to transform conventional seawalls, breakwaters, and other sea defences into thriving habitats for marine life. By bridging the gap between ecology, engineering, and art, we sculpt a seascape that harmonises with and benefits both marine life and local communities while contributing positively to our planet’s well-being.

Science

At BlueCube, scientific evidence is at the core of our work.

With a highly experienced team boasting 20 years of research experience, we pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of ecological knowledge and advancements.

Our active involvement in the prestigious research project Ecostructure has been a game-changer (https://ecostructureproject.aber.ac.uk/). Through this initiative, we played a pivotal role in developing a suite of groundbreaking eco-engineering tools.
