Last week Interreg FCE Marineff Project partner Bournemouth Uni hosted a workshop entitled 'Ecological Enhancement for Coastal Infrastructure', inviting 3 interreg_eu other projects - Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities | SARCC of Interreg 2 Seas, #3DPARE of Interreg Atlantic Area, and ECOSTRUCTURE of @IrelandWales



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 @IrelandWales UCD Earth Institute Sch. Biol. & Env. Sc Dublin City Council Dublin Port @cubeXindustries Marineff Project

We are always looking to learn from research into eco engineering interventions. In our latest newsletter Pippa Moore introduces Conservation Evidence regarding Biodiversity of Marine Artificial Structures, one of the key outputs from ECOSTRUCTURE exo-engineering.co.uk/news

In October, SARCC held their UK regional seminar in partnership with Marineff Project, #3DPARE and ECOSTRUCTURE discussing the main learnings of #SARCCeu and the future of nature-based solutions. Watch the video below for an overview📹



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🧵👇 #EcosystemFunctioning #MarineScience #ExperimentalEcology Swansea University Swansea Research





📌 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.⚙️🪸🌊 ecostructureproject.aber.ac.uk/publications/

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


Exciting pre-Xmas news 📢📢 Our ECOSTRUCTURE research investigating the structure & reproductive potential of limpets on natural shores & artificial structures in the Irish sea has been ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION🌊🐚📊 #limpet #artificialhabitat #coastaldefense #marineresearch


Great talk by Aberystwyth University DLS/AGB @HarryThatcher10 on his ECOSTRUCTURE research on the movement of European lobster around scour defence associated with offshore wind farms - spoiler alert they like it
