| Based on this sustainability analysis, the team selected a modular habitat design combined with a separate monitoring system and the use of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete as the primary structural material. This choice is supported by its durability, resistance to marine conditions, and suitability for long-term deployment without causing environmental harm. In addition, the separation of electronic components from the main structure contributes to reducing pollution risks and improving resource efficiency. | Based on this sustainability analysis, the team selected a modular Reef Block design combined with a removable Smart Module and basalt fiber-reinforced concrete as the primary structural material. This choice is supported by its durability, resistance to marine conditions, and suitability for long-term deployment while reducing environmental risks. In addition, the separation of electronic components from the main Reef Block contributes to reducing pollution risks and improving resource efficiency. |

| Consequently, the solution was designed with features that support sustainability throughout its lifecycle. These include a structure that can integrate into the marine ecosystem over time, a modular and retrievable sensor system that enables maintenance without disturbing the habitat, and a design that promotes marine colonization through varied shapes and surface characteristics. Together, these elements ensure that the system not only minimizes negative environmental impacts but also contributes positively to marine biodiversity and long-term ecosystem health. | Consequently, the solution was designed with features that support sustainability throughout its life cycle.
