To demonstrate the effectiveness of three types of coastal and marine infrastructures as hybrid NbS. These infrastructures are designed to preserve ecosystems and support their restoration, taking into account their potential for replication and scaling up.

To identify limiting factors, gaps, and current issues of the existing Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) initiative regarding “blue building”, a concept that recognices water as the source of all life versus any other media carrying energy. This involves establishing connections with previous projects to learn from their experiences.

To conduct an analysis in order to understand the benefits and potential trade-offs of these hybrid solutions in the short and long term. This is crucial for the protection and restoration of marine biodiversity and ecosystem services.

To employ digital solutions for the monitoring and analysis of marine and coastal infrastructures. This also includes fostering social involvement in these efforts, ensuring that the community is actively engaged in the project’s initiatives.
