<p style="text-align: center;">In its simplest form, an EcoReef is a collection of organic
material such as twisted branches, as well as rocks and rubble bound together
with a long-lasting binder. This combination forms a protective ‘cave’ to
protect flora and fauna from inception through the juvenile stage until they
can fend for themselves.</p>
