The COASTLIFE project aims to strengthen coastal resilience and improve communities’ connection to the waterfront through the development of innovative solutions for coastal and port structures.
The initiative brings together several scientific and academic institutions, including LNEC, and adopts an integrated approach that combines cultural, biological and technical factors to address the challenges faced by coastal areas.
Its main goals include testing slope protection blocks that promote biodiversity, assessing the hydraulic and structural performance of the proposed solutions, and creating project-support tools.
Testing and monitoring will take place in Cova do Vapor, in Almada, a pilot area for the implementation of these hybrid solutions.
COASTLIFE also seeks to promote ecological enhancement, sustainability and greater awareness of the importance of coastal ecosystems.
