Nature Based Solutions

Coastal structures can be more ecologically sustainable when strategies design for the inclusion and creation of local habitats.

The project's goal is to engage community members in taking an active role in protecting the health of their coastal waterways by collecting seagrass flowers and seeds for use in habitat restoration programs.

Seagrass loss often occurs through a process of gradual fragmentation to a critical threshold.

The program aims to develop a scientific, data-driven basis to support resilience-based management and to guide restoration activities for seagrass.

CQUniversity’s seagrass restoration research program continues to explore ways to restore and grow seagrass meadows.

This represents a unique opportunity to research novel coastal management engineering projects and work with local communities and resource managers.
