To improve resilience of historic landfills from coastal erosion, a combination of innovative, nature-based solutions will be installed.
Exotiles and Exowalls will be deployed onto the existing seawall to help protect the aging asset, bit like adding protective bubble wrap on fragile items!
These products are made out of recycled concrete and are textured to create small habitats for marine species.
Potato lattice called BESE matting, alongside coir matting will be placed in front of the seawall on the mudflat to encourage the saltmarsh to re-establish.
The most innovative along the coast involves installing floating barrier island to deflect and reduce the impact of waves on the shore. The barrier island will have a large area natural materials that will not only reduce wave energy but also provide more habitats for wildlife.
