    Excerpt
    “Nothing is impossible,” seemed to be the mantra of Benjamin Tayag Jr. and Austrian geoscientist Harald Kremnitz when they thought of creating artificial reefs called Reefbuds to help restore destroyed marine life. “We collaborated on the idea and entered the technology in a contest called ‘Bagong Paraan,’ a World Bank-sponsored contest in 2006,” shared Tayag. With a grant to finance the production, testing, and evaluation of the technology, the duo’s idea of reefbuds came to life.
