Vriko Yu of ARCHIREEF on coral reef conservation and how 3D printing helps Hong Kong's marine life
Vriko Yu was born and raised in the Hong Kong countryside, so nature conservation has always been close to her heart. “I saw the natural beauty of Hong Kong, but I also saw the aggressive development of the city,” she says. This led to her studying biology and seeing first-hand not only how diverse the oceans around Hong Kong were, but also the fragility of underwater ecosystems. Her startup, Archireef, produces 3D-printed clay tiles, which act as a substrate for coral to grow on, supporting myriad other lifeforms.
