Take part in our surveyThe Observatory is a mapping platform that supports the research of the Ecostructure project (www.ecostructureproject.eu) . The project explores ways of building ecologically-sensitive design into artificial coastal structures around our Irish Sea coasts. This is so that our growing coastal communities can adapt to the challenges of sea level rise and extreme weather patterns whilst making space for nature in coastal engineering projects. Using ecologically-sensitive design in coastal structures would promote benefits to the environment, to coastal communities and to the blue and green sectors of the Irish and Welsh economies.
