The great Concrete Turtle - Tara's is an ini3a3ve of, of course, Tara from FERAL (Founda3on for Ecological Research, Advocacy & Learning) in Pondicherry, and an experiment in ar3ficial reefs and FAD (Fish aggrava3on devices). Weighing in at 8 Tonnes, it was placed very close to our Cool Shark site (approx 40m), with Julien co-ordina3ng the placement team. The structure sports a bunch of tunnels, holes and designs perfect for fish to hide and breed in.
