We’ve partnered with DP World to create port infrastructure that benefits both people and nature. Living Ports @JebelAli has 1,000+ panels, the largest Living Seawall in the world!
Want to know how our @livingseawalls.bsky.social from the @stonelivinglab.bsky.social is doing one year after installation? Check out this piece from @wbur.org on how it's grown! www.wbur.org/upnext/2025/...
One year in, sea creatures have turned the Seaport's 'living seawall' into a home
The goal is to mimic the natural features of the shorelines — enough to attract some sea creatures to make the wall their new home. So far, it's working.

We’re honoured to have won the Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Environmental Research! Huge thanks to our amazing partners Reef Design Lab, global collaborators, and the many supporters who made this possible. It was incredible to celebrate alongside so many of the nation’s leading scientists!
Come learn about Living Seawalls at Riverfest! The Parramatta River Catchment Group’s flagship community event will celebrate Parramatta River, its surrounding creeks, and local environment. Event info is below! tinyurl.com/4wfsps5z
🌊🔬 It’s National Science Week! We’re celebrating with ocean science, habitat restoration, and stories from the scientists making it happen. Our researchers want to meet you! Ask us anything — about our research, our careers, or your own STEM path! 💬🤿🦞 #NationalScienceWeek2025 #LivingSeawalls #STEM
We are honoured to announce that we are a 2025 #EurekaPrizes finalist for Environmental Research! @eurekaprizes.bsky.social are Australia's peak scientific awards, recognising the achievements of researchers across all scientific disciplines. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yrR...
Great passel of posters from the lab at #ITRS2025 - from #kelp to #crusts to living Seawalls! @stonelivinglab.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social Nice work Melba, Daniel, @lexiwilkes.bsky.social, and @crustisrmorris.bsky.social!
Great talk by Franz Bauer on carbon storage potential of @livingseawalls.bsky.social at International Temperate Reefs Symposium #ITRS. Need more carbon neutral concretes. @benthicecol.bsky.social @jngriffy.bsky.social

Meanwhile in #Plymouth.... Life continues to colonise the #LivingSeawall. 🐚🌊🐙🪸 Here's what it looks like after 18 mo 📆 #Fucoid city. 🤎 Controls lower cover. ↘️ Evidence of #Limpet grazing 🐌 watch this space... @anaellelemasson.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social @benthicecol.bsky.social
Look at that growth! 6 months in and these #LivingSeawalls are rocking it! Who knows what lies beneath that mat of green algae.... @stonelivinglab.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social
This Climate Action Week, our co-founder Prof. Melanie Bishop led a tour of the Fairy Bower Living Seawall, showcasing how nature-inspired designs are helping marine life thrive! 🦪🐟 Community engagement is key—every conversation sparks awareness and action. #LivingSeawalls #ClimateActionWeek
🌊 Welcome, Kyle! 🌊 We’re excited to have Kyle on our team! As a quantitative marine ecologist, he brings expertise in biosecurity, eco-engineering, and marine invasions, helping us better understand and protect our oceans. 🌎🐠
Yesterday was International Day of Women and Girls in Science👌We want to give a huge shout-out to all the amazing women who have worked with us over the years — as students, researchers, and volunteers. Your contributions inspire us every day!
The Living Seawall at Sawmillers Reserve is thriving and showcasing the power of eco-engineering. Thanks to our partners for championing this transformation through support, research, and outreach. Together we’re restoring urban marine ecosystems! 🌊 🌊 #LivingSeawalls #EcoEngineering #SIMS
Fieldwork Friday!👌 Our team has been busy these past couple weeks surveying the biodiversity and vertical zonation patterns on our oldest Living Seawall. Big thanks to Aliah Banchik who joined us out in the field on Wednesday and took some great photos for us!
We love seeing a new installation go up! We can't wait to see what marine community is supported on this new Living Seawall.
Jarrett Byrnes@jebyrnes.bsky.social · 2y agoAnd they're just beautiful. I'm so excited to get another @livingseawalls.bsky.social on the map, and REALLY curious to see how they compare to the 1 yr installation in Plymouth in the UK. So, here's to some awesome new science, and a win-win for coastal protection and coastal ecology!
Congratulations to all the Finalists for the 2024 #EarthshotPrize!!! A special nod to the achievements of the #ReviveOurOceans Finalists #MiAlgae , #HighAmbitionCoalitionforNatureAndPeople & #Coast4C! You all deserve a global stage for your innovative solutions!
We are thrilled to be one of the finalists for the 2024 Ocean Awards! This global award recognises individuals and groups who are working to support ocean health! Winners will be announced the week of Monday 6 May! www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht...
Happy International Women's Day 2024! Our Superstars of STEMM were making waves at the Australian National Maritime Museum Women In STEM careers expo! We had a great time speaking to the next generation of scientists! Thank you to ANMM and #internationalwomensday! #WomenInSTEM
