Barangaroo Living Seawall
Building a place for seawall to thrive.

Ocean pollution and and coastal development can damage and degrade marine habitats and the sea life that depend on them.
In Sydney’s inner harbour, scientists from the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) found that native seaweed and other species had disappeared - having a knock-on effect - to the marine ecosystem.
O U R S O L U T I O N
SeaO2 teamed up with SIMS to design, build and install the
”longest living seawall” in Australia, under the sea at Barangaroo. The 90 metre structure , made from 3D printed concrete tiles -
mimics the natural habitat features of Sydney’s rocky shores.
Specially designed to attract sea life, the structure has been planted with native seaweed creating habitats for other
marine species.

One year one from construction, the Barangaroo Living Seawall
is showing great results with a good colonisation of native
marine species.
Kelp has also been transplanted with a healthy transplanting rate. As well as revitalising the marine ecosystems under Barangaroo,
the seaweed garden will help clean up the water in this part of
the harbour.
