Underwater Gardens International (UGI) combines science with an innovative business model, using advanced solutions to develop regenerative strategies tailored to specific ecosystems. Their initiatives include the Sea Gardens, comprehensive projects that enhance biodiversity and carbon sequestration capacity while raising environmental awareness.

Sea Gardens are «Underwater Gardens» that respond in an intelligent and integrated way to the specific regeneration needs of a damaged ecosystem through Smart Enhanced Reefs (SER^®), a new generation of intelligent reefs that allow marine life to regenerate and increase local biodiversity.

The SER^® implemented in the Sea Garden respond to an integrated marine regeneration plan, which combine the technologies developed by Underwater Gardens International and the expertise of their Scientific Consortium and technical team. 

What make Underwater Gardens solutions’ different?

• Customised solutions adapted to each location: study of the local variables to adapt their technological and scientific solutions to these needs so that they are integrated into the local ecosystem.
• High technological and scientific value: use of their scientific and technological know-how to create and develop «ad-hoc» solutions for the benefit of the specific marine ecosystems.
• Integration of the regenerative state of the art: the regeneration provided by the Sea Garden incorporates different techniques in soft and hard substrates in an integrated way and, at the same time, are based on a new generation of intelligent substrates, the SER^®, which differ from other artificial reefs in that they adapt to local circumstances and are integrated into their ecological functions.

Environmental benefits and solutions by the SER^®

• Improve local biodiversity
• Increase marine biomass
• Mitigate the environmental impact of human activity
• Adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change
• Create permanent carbon immobilization
