Growing an International Partnership

Inspired by the 2022 Earthshot Prize, the Stone Living Lab has partnered with 2021 Earthshot Prize Finalist Living Seawalls to install the first North American sites of this innovative infrastructure program.

Started in Sydney, Australia, Living Seawalls is a nature-based solution to urban shorelines. Building on more than 20 years of research and using 3D printing technology, they have developed modular habitat panels that mimic natural features to help marine life thrive.

Installation Sites

Two sites have been selected for Boston Harbor: Condor Street Urban Wild in East Boston, and Fan Pier Park in Seaport.

Installation update Coming Fall 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that installation of the two Living Seawall pilot will begin this fall! In partnership with the City of Boston and Fallon Group, Living Seawalls will be installed at two sites in Boston Harbor. Scientists have been monitoring the sites since spring, collecting critical data to show what conditions are like before any changes are made. Once the panels are installed, these same scientists will continue monitoring the sites to track changes. Stay tuned for updates on what we find!
