Concrete 'reef ball' project to shed light on coral growth The first Reefballs were constructed in the Mina al Fahal harbour under supervision of PDO's Coastal Operations Supervisor, Abdullah Hall, with technical assistance from Al Turki Materials Manager Dr L.V. Raja and Grace Construction Products' L.P. Samant, who supplied some of the environmentally-friendly additives for the concrete. The first three balls were lowered from the PDO barge onto the sandy bottom of Ras Al Hamra bay and moved by RAHSAC divers to the desired location beside the poorlydeveloped coral reefs on the eastern side of Ras Al Hamra bay.
