Making Costal Infrastructure More Hospitable to Marine Ecosystems
Mahmoud Hayek, Marie Salgues, Jean-Claude Souche, Klaartje De Weerdt, Sylvain Pioch, How to Improve the Bioreceptivity of Concrete Infrastructure Used in Marine Ecosystems? Literature Review for Mechanisms, Key Factors, and Colonization Effects, Journal of Coastal Research, Vol. 39, No. 3 (May 2023)...
Really interesting study from the Journal of Coastal Research - I think work like this is a massively useful transition strategy. There's a lot of benefits to blending economic practicality (construction methods that remain feasible for local governments and small community or private groups), and ecologically minded design (features that improve a project's impact on local ecology)
