This summer marks six months since the installation of Living Seawalls habitat enhancement panels at Condor Street Urban Wild in East Boston and Fan Pier in the Seaport - and the biodiversity is already making waves.
In early June the shoreline at Condor Street Urban Wild came alive with curiosity and discovery as the entire 8th grade class from East Boston High School joined the Stone Living Lab team for a day of urban shoreline exploration. Just a six minute walk away from their school, students were excited to step into the intertidal world located right in their neighbourhood.
