Upgrade Coastal Infrastructure Into Living, Measurable Blue Assets
THE PROBLEM
Missed Opportunity in Our Oceans
Coastal infrastructure keeps expanding to support modern life. Nature can settle on these structures, but it’s slow, unplanned, and rarely delivers real outcomes at scale.
Ocean Hex changes that. We retrofit existing assets with engineered marine habitat systems that create better synergy between infrastructure and the ocean. No redesign. No disruption. Just better use of what already exists.
Faster habitat recovery. Reduced, locally delivered offsets. Stronger approvals. Proof that built assets can work for both people and nature.
Concept Piece
If the ocean built its own infrastructure, this is what it would look like
Our Purpose
What we do
End-to-End Nature-Tech Solution
1. Grow
Nursery-grown, mature target species cultivated under controlled conditions for reliable and rapid ecological establishment.
2. Plant
Modular systems (BARN and HIVE) retrofit onto existing structures with no redesign. Built for durability, inspections, hydrodynamics and asset protection.
3. Check
Autonomous robotic monitoring creates full-site data sets that are standardised, repeatable and WHS-safe.
4. Prove
A digital assessment portal processes, verifies and exports audit-ready ESG, TNFD and regulatory outputs.
Where We Work
How we help
Products and technology
HEX
Specially designed unit, pre-seeded with designated marine habitat, that accelerate marine growth by embedding life directly into existing infrastructure
BARN
A permanent system for groynes, breakwaters and rock structures. Small-form, durable, adaptable and designed for long-term ecological performance.
HIVE
A modular solution that protects structures, fits inspection schedules and supports ecological growth using regenerative biomaterials.
Autonomous Monitoring
A suite of above-and-below-water robotics delivering full-site coverage. Standardized, multi-variable datasets with predictable schedules and minimal WHS exposure.
Data Portal
A method-locked platform that delivers ESG reporting, TNFD and ISSB/AASB alignment, regulator-ready submissions, evidence packs and near-real-time site visibility, all built for traceability, compliance and decision-ready insights.
First Movers in Active
Grey-to-Green marine infrastructure
Ocean Hex turns grey infrastructure into living assets that cut costs, speed approvals, meet ESG goals, unlock new financing, and build community trust.
Eco-roughness enhances and protects asset life without major redesigns. HIVE Tiles reduce downtime during inspection and maintain ecological benefits
Nature positive design aligns with EPBC reforms and State policies. Faster Approvals, Fewer offset liabilities & reduced regulatory delays
Automated monitoring TNFD-ready & ISSB/ASSB - aligned reporting. Fully transparent, comprehensive data platform and dashboard with full access to raw and processed data
Opens pathways to Blue & Green bond eligibility, sustainability-linked loans, and biodiversity certificates through the Nature Repair Market
Traceable, transparent, and visible data with visible marine life around assets improving public trust, stakeholders support and potential tourism/community avenues
Why Choose Ocean Hex?
Ocean Hex is redefining how we think about coastal infrastructure. Every seawall, pylon, and port has the potential to be more than just grey concrete — it can be a living, thriving ecosystem. Our patented Grey-to-Green technologies don’t wait decades for nature to return. They deliver faster marine growth, measurable biodiversity gains, and the data that proves real impact. For governments, communities, and project developers, this means healthier oceans, stronger coastlines, and a clear path to meeting ESG and climate resilience goals.
But Ocean Hex goes beyond ecological restoration — we make sustainability a cost-saving tool. By reducing downtime during inspections, accelerating approvals, and providing automated monitoring, we help project holders cut expenses while unlocking access to green financing, biodiversity credits, and blue bonds. Backed by global partnerships, award-winning recognition, and large-scale pilot project, Ocean Hex is the first mover in transforming grey infrastructure into blue assets. Choosing Ocean Hex means choosing a solution that is good for oceans, smart for business, and essential for our coastline’s future.
