Eco-engineering in the Channel: Marineff one year later

As the human population continues to migrate towards the coastline, more marine infrastructure is required to support coastal civilisation, from shipping infrastructure to coastal defence. Much of this engineering fails to support adequate habitat for marine life, and the Marineff project aims to change this with their specially adapted eco-engineering modules. These innovative concrete modules address the challenges of the marine environment, whilst providing ecological, recreational, and aesthetic benefits.

The webinar followed on from the webinar hosted by CIRIA in December 2020, which introduced the project and its aims and objectives. This webinar reminded viewers of the project’s module designs and give exciting updates about the marine life now calling them home, while sharing plans for the project’s future following the announcement of a 14-month funded extension. It will also provide insights about how coastal practitioners might meet the 10% biodiversity net gain in coastal and marine developments as mandated in the Environment Bill by using Marineff eco-engineering modules. We invited viewers to ask questions and provide feedback about the project’s work.
