Sustainable concrete in the sea to protect fauna and flora

The ICITECH, IMEDMAR-UCV and ROVER MORITIME collaborate in the Livingports project that seeks the best alternatives for the construction of submerged structures, and monitors and evolves marine fauna and flora on these new materials.

The project directed by the Institute for Research in the Environment and Marine Science (IMEDMAR-UCV), which will investigate maritime infrastructures made of sustainable concrete to promote the growth of marine flora and fauna, has been one of the projects chosen by the Valencian Agency for Innovation in the Generalitat within its call for Strategic Cooperation Projects 2020.

The main objective of the research will be the adaptation of maritime-port infrastructures to climate change through sustainable solutions reducing the carbon footprint and promoting the biodiversity of the area.
