ECOSTRUCTURE

✨ 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.uk

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 @IrelandWales @UCDEarth @UCDSBES @DubCityCouncil @DublinPortCo @cubeXindustries @marineffproject

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

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 irishexaminer.com/farming/arid-4…

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. ecostructureproject.aber.ac.uk/publications/

📌 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/

Policy briefs of interest! @NatResWales @CyfNatCymMor @DeptHousingIRL @agriculture_ie @CIRIAupdates @ArupUK @Exo_Engineering @GIPartnership @EUgreenresearch @jpconcrete @UCDEngArch @EngineerIreland @sdublincoco @dlrcc @stevensgreen1 @ep_wales @IrishSeaForum

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🧵👇 #EcosystemFunctioning #MarineScience #ExperimentalEcology @SwanseaUni @swansearesearch

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_ exo-engineering.co.uk/news

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📹

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! 🧵 twitter.com/ecostructure_/… 📺 youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@tom_fairchild @BefScale We’ll miss you!! Stunning photos by the way 😍

Last week @Channel_Manche @marineffproject partner @bournemouthuni hosted a workshop entitled 'Ecological Enhancement for Coastal Infrastructure', inviting 3 @Interreg_eu other projects - @SARCCeu of @Interreg2Seas, #3DPARE of @AtlanticArea, and @ecostructure_ of @IrelandWales
