Project Synopsis

SumCo Eco installed approximately 240 living seawall panels at two locations in Boston, at a City Urban Wilds park and Fan Pier near the Boston Children’s Museum. These panels are designed to provide structural complexity to support biodiversity on traditionally barren seawalls. Originating in Sydney, Australia, living seawalls are a nature-based solution to urban shorelines. Building on more than 20 years of research and using 3D printing technology, these modular habitat panels mimic natural features to help marine life thrive.
