A situation that is increasingly unacceptable for the environment and for human activity
Coastal managers and operators, professionals on the land-sea interface, residents, etc.
Coastal erosion, which causes environmental, economic and even humanitarian disasters, is of increasing concern to shoreline landowners, the public and private stakeholders in charge of the coast and the public authorities of the countries that own and use the marine coastline. The current solutions, which are often costly and look unsightly, could be greatly improved in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
Géocorail develops and markets an innovative product that actively involves the sea in coastal protection: Géocorail®. This innovative and patented electrochemical process consists of creating an artificial rock that is used to protect marine structures and combat coastal erosion.
Géocorail® is formed over time and is self-restoring.
Géocorail® fixes elements that are naturally present in seawater without the need for any external additions.
The physico-chemical reaction traps carbon.
Composed of natural elements found in the sea, Géocorail® retains the colour and granulometry of its components (sand, sea shells, pebbles, etc.).
Géocorail® is produced directly on-site and requires very low voltage electricity, which poses no danger.
