Resumen
We use lessons learned from more than 20 years of eco-engineering projects in Sydney Harbour to present a pathway for how to connect science and scientific findings to inform management interventions and policy, to optimize and facilitate the scaling up of eco-engineering worldwide. We use the Living Seawalls, a large-scale eco-engineering project, as a case-study. Living Seawalls comprise modules, mimicking the habitat features of natural shorelines (e.g. rock pools, crevices; Fig. 1) that are fitted in scalable mosaics onto built structures. The complex surfaces increase the habitat area for growth of marine life (Bishop et al, in press).Referencias
