Designing and evaluating interventions that restore and enhance marine and coastal ecosystems.
IECS supports restoration planning, eco engineering design, and evaluation of nature based solutions. Our work draws on decades of ecological and hydromorphological expertise developed through the University of Hull’s legacy benthic laboratories.
Core Expertise
- Nature‑based solutions (saltmarsh, dune, seagrass, oyster reef restoration)
- Habitat offsetting and compensation design
- Ecohydrology and eco‑engineering integration
- Species restocking and recovery planning
- Monitoring and evaluation of restoration success
Our restoration work contributes to MARBEFES, MarinePlan, GES4SEAS and ROWER, ensuring that interventions are ecologically sound and socially beneficial.
