Living Seawalls

Living Seawalls Comic
Natural features along coastlines and foreshores provide hard spaces with different shapes and textures for marine life to grow on.

Development along shorelines on coasts, and on the foreshore of harbours and rivers result in the removal and degradation of habitats and as a result, a reduction in biodiversity. 

Living Seawalls are panels made of eco-friendly concrete that are designed to replicate micro-habitats found in nature. The different textures provide spaces for a range of species in intertidal and sub-tidal zones.
