SAL04: "Balance of the Sea: Developing Digital Strategies for Monitoring and Mitigating Ocean Acidification "

Oceans are the lungs of our planet — yet they're under silent attack. Rising CO₂ levels are making them dangerously acidic, threatening coral reefs, marine biodiversity, and coastal livelihoods. But what if we could reverse that, sculpturally and scientifically?  AlkaBlue is an innovative solution that blends marine chemistry, environmental engineering, and artistic biomimicry. We’re creating biocompatible limestone-based sculptures that actively neutralize ocean acidity, restore pH balance, and offer shelter for marine life. Think reef-building meets pH buffering — beautiful, functional, and transformative.  Join us if you're passionate about ocean conservation, sustainability tech, marine biology, materials science, IoT monitoring, or even art with impact. Together, we'll prototype, model, and design scalable structures that turn acidification zones into hope spots.  Let’s leave no reef behind. Dive in — AlkaBlue is where science meets the sea.

I want to see the feasibility and make the first prototype on a reduced scale to present the model not only of the limestone sculpture but of a functional IOT model.
