✨ Ecostructure’s website has been redesigned to showcase the tools and outputs we’ve produced over the past five years to support eco-engineering and biosecurity solutions for coastal and marine structures.
Take a look! 🌊 ecostructureproject.aber.ac.…

Great talk by @AberDLSAGB @HarryThatcher10 on his @ecostructure_ research on the movement of European lobster around scour defence associated with offshore wind farms - spoiler alert they like it

Please have a look and share our little overview vid we put together to showcase our work using these bespoke @ecostructure_ habitat units. Available here: youtu.be/CGVqB7cYY3k

The entire Co Cork coast is to be assessed and mapped for coastal erosion - findings will inform future planning of coastal management, which is critical for the South-West coast which is predicted to face the largest climate change increase in erosion

Interested in Ecostructure’s tools + resources for eco-engineering & biosecurity of coastal structures? @Arup @ArupUK produced a guide for practitioners to understand each, our main findings, and how they can be used in practice to support decision making.

📌 Read our 2 new policy briefs highlighting pathways through which coastal eco-engineering could be incorporated in Ireland & Wales, identifying legal requirements, policies & management practices that could support the uptake of eco-engineering.⚙️🪸🌊

I’m excited for our first #ReGenOurCoasts deployment of biodegradable structures! First time trialling this #restoration method in #mangrove in Australia. Hopefully this will help the little seeds and seedlings stay strong through tides and storms and grow into thriving mangroves

After 3 years the #fieldwork for my #PhD, on the effects of heterogeneity across the #RockyIntertidal, is now complete!🎉🐌🌊Here's a small thread on the project so far🧵👇

We are always looking to learn from research into eco engineering interventions. In our latest newsletter @Pippa_J_Moore introduces @ConservEvidence regarding Biodiversity of Marine Artificial Structures, one of the key outputs from @ecostructure_

In October, SARCC held their UK regional seminar in
partnership with @marineffproject, #3DPARE and @ecostructure_ discussing the main learnings of #SARCCeu and the future of nature-based solutions. Watch the video below for an overview📹 – at Bournemouth, England

ALT ECOSTRUCTURE is a €5.5 million European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) project through the Ireland-Wales Cooperation programme, bringing together five leading universities in Wales and Ireland to research and raise awareness of eco-engineering solutions to the challenge of coastal adaptation to climate change.
Just 1 week left until our project finishes! 🥲 What an amazing 5 years of research. If you haven’t watched the presentations from our final conference on YouTube, have a look, or read our summary thread about them below!
