Seawalls and breakwaters play a vital role in protecting people and places. Traditionally, these structures weren't designed with marine life in mind but that’s starting to change. Our work on eco-engineering is helping reimagine coastal infrastructure so that it works with nature, rather than against it. By introducing texture, crevices and habitat features into coastal structures, it’s possible to: 🌊support richer marine biodiversity 🌊improve ecosystem health 🌊turn essential infrastructure into nature-positive solutions. 👉https://ow.ly/7I5G50Z7W8O #WorldOceansDay #CoastalEngineering #NatureBasedSolutions #OceanHealth
