About

Natural Art Reef (NAR) is a marine conservation organization based in the Mediterranean that designs and implements artificial reefs as living laboratories. Its work focuses on generating long-term ecological data, studying marine biodiversity, and supporting evidence-based coastal management through science-driven monitoring. NAR collaborates with universities, research groups, local stakeholders and public authorities, integrating applied research, technological innovation, citizen science and knowledge transfer. The organization develops projects at the interface of ecology, restoration research, governance and the blue economy, with a strong emphasis on the Mediterranean context and scalable methodologies.
