Nature-Based Solutions: design solutions for coastal environments to harness natural ecosystems for protection and biodiversity-AQUABREAK, using seaweed aquaculture for coastal resilience and decarbonization;SeaGrassRiaWilld, involving seagrass reforestation stabilizing sediment-reducing dredging
Ecological Enhancement: add ecological features to marine and coastal structures to improve habitat conditions for local organisms and support biodiversity
System Approach: holistic thinking to connect causes and consequences-promoting environmental sustainability and balanced habitats
Ecology:advise on regenerative design and habitat restoration by integrating ecosystem elements to boost biodiversity
Marine Spatial Planning: engineering solutions for data analysis, sustainable coastal development, habitat restoration, and environmental monitoring to ensure sustainable marine development
Marine Biology: engineering solutions to enhance marine biodiversity, such as blue carbon habitats, artificial reefs, and living coastlines
Ecosystem Services Assessment (ESA): assess and value ecosystem services in aquatic systems, supporting projects that highlight biodiversity's role in human well-being and conservation
Aquaculture: leverage aquaculture's potential to reduce pressure on wild stocks and enhance biodiversity through cultured species and rearing systems
Regenerative Development: apply holistic principles, addressing the interconnectedness of nature, society, and planetary boundaries
