A research and development project investigating the use of eco-blocks as a potential material to be used in future flood and coastal erosion risk management schemes. The project will monitor the eco-blocks ability to enhance biodiversity and withstand a high-energy environment, as well as the effect of block size and orientation. The project will not seek to reduce flood or coastal erosion risk.
