ecosystem engineering

Learn about the public-private 'Coastbusters' consortium which aims to study and translate desired coastal protection functionality into designs that make use of the capability of ecosystem engineering species. In other words, does ecosystem creation and the technical design of nature-based solutions provide a more sustainable and cost-effective management approach to conventional coastal engineering?

We need new solutions to managing water resources to offset the rising challenges to water security. This report proposes an innovative response: nature-based solutions.
