The Design

The solution developed is that of a hex barrier which acts as a physical barricade against external impact sources such as storms, anchoring, in addition to preventing unwanted human interaction, filtering out invasive species, and performing pollution control. Base environmental conditions that this system will be expected to operate under are at depths from sea level (0m) to 91m at maximum current speeds of 4m/s. This barrier uses a system of transparent hex cells (made from nanocarbon tubules) that are able to magnetically assemble themselves into a flexible mesh. Other features of this design include unit grids which can be added or scaled up and down as needed for each reef size. This ensures energy and magnetic field generation efficiency as well. Additionally, non-invasive DNA laser scanning will be implemented to act as a gate keeper for each barrier dome in order to prevent unwanted species from entering the environment.
