The Marineff project is a collaboration between France and the UK with the goal of developing coastal infrastructure to enhance and protect the ecological status of cross-channel coastal waters. Today, coastal infrastructure (such as the seawalls, quays, piers, groynes, and moorings) do not incorporate the enhancement of coastal and transitional water ecosystems.

The project aims to produce new ecological enhancement units to improve the ecological status of coastal and transitional watercourses, as well as professionals and stakeholders in the process. Improvements in the ecological status of the coastal infrastructure will be measured at a minimum of 15% compared to the original coastal infrastructure state.

The INTERREG VA France (Channel) – England co-funded by the ERDF and 9 French and British partners.

Back to the MARINEFF final event!

The MARINEFF project is now coming to an end. Indeed, the technical and communication activities will end on 31 March 2023.

This is why, on 8 March, the British partners met in Portsmouth for the final event organised by the University of Southampton.

Unfortunately, due to the national strikes, the French partners could not attend but the French partners were able to meet at BUILDERS Ecole d’ingénieurs.

On the agenda:

Overview of MARINEFF project and shell concrete formulations
Oyster enhancement reefs
Breakwater modules
Mineralogy of shell concrete in seawater
Rockpools 
Moorings
Workshop and information available on the MARINEFF website

Back to the conference in Brussels on October 19th, 2022

On October 19th, RGI, WindEurope and Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature (OCEaN) organised a conference in Brussels entitled “Speeding up Nature Positive Offshore Energy Infrastructure Deployment”.

The aim of this event was to find solutions to accelerate the deployment of offshore energy infrastructure while restoring Europe’s marine ecosystems.

As it fits perfectly into this theme, the MARINEFF project had the opportunity to be presented.
