- BESE-reef paste consists of 80% grinded shell and 20% biobased binding additives.
- The BESE-reef paste slowly disintegrates in water and lasts 1-5 years, depending on local conditions.
- It can be applied on BESE-elements, stone, wood or other hard material.

BESE-reef paste enhances shellfish recruitment rates, as various shellfish species prefer to settle on other shells, which consists mainly of calcium carbonate. Once oysters or other shellfish have colonised the structure replica rolex explorer, reef paste starts to disintegrate, leaving only the natural system behind.
