Company Summary

Grow Oyster Reefs, LLC (GROW) is an early-stage enterprise that created scalable concrete oyster substrate products to dramatically improve oyster reef restoration efforts globally. GROW is establishing a hub to manufacture and distribute Concrete Oyster Reef Restoration Tiles (Reef Tiles) and Concrete Oyster Reef Restoration Disks (Reef Disks). The market supporting the current oyster reef restoration effort is growing rapidly due to the invaluable role oysters play in mitigating climate change.

VALUE PROPOSITION:

Reef Tiles and Reef Disks unique design and GROW's CaC03 concrete’s proprietary chemical composition position them to be the clear choice for all oyster reef restoration applications. Early tests have demonstrated far superior effectiveness in growing oysters. The weight (15 lbs) of Reef Tiles significantly improves portability, which is highly desirable for the research community and lowers the total cost of installation and transportation. The Reef Tile possesses 20% more surface area when measured against comparably sized substrate products. GROW is entering a rapidly growing market for an effective reef substrate with patent- pending scalable, cost-effective and profitable solutions.
