Seascape Caribbean develops functional, attractive and responsible coastlines

 

Seascape Caribbean specializes in coastal marine, estuarine and river systems, with a particular focus on the propagative restoration of living corals and coral reef ecosystem services.  Our approach revolves around our clients realizing a return on investment (ROI) in addition intrinsic services and social values, even in impact remediation.

The various programmatic values are rarely mutually exclusive and usually dovetail,  the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

TOURISM & Recreation Aesthetics

Beautification, recreation, edutainment and green-branding with direct income generation. Improved reefscapes enhance and upvalue the guest experience.

  • Impactful coral gardens, snorkelling parks and trails and SCUBA dive product development.

  • Reefscape colouring by changing the degraded reef’s green-browns to vibrant golds, yellows, purples and iridescent greens when viewed from below water as well as from above.

  • Green/blue branding and marketing content to attract repeat and novel guests.

  • Live as well as artificial reefal structures including statuary, and the beautification of built/grey coastal infrastructures such as groynes and breakwaters.

  • Community integration and CSR, particularly artisanal fishing communities.

  • Direct and indirect income opportunities at the reef, the dock and the gift-shop.

Blue INFRASTRUCTURE, soft engineering, Coastal Protections and Beaches

Corals and growing, self-healing coral reef structure provide a physical barrier to wave energies, protecting natural and build infrastructure and allowing the downstream accumulation of sands into beaches and dunes.  

  • Design and implementation in impact mitigation, remediation and restoration, including net-positive ecological as well as economic end-points. Impact remediation is a programmatic investment rather than a project cost.

  • Adaptation of existing hard-engineered structures to sea-level rises associated with climate change with the setting of hard corals: bluing of grey infrastructures.

  • Coastal protection, erosion control and clean sand accretion through turbulent attenuation of wave energy.

FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT

Habitat improvement, maximized ecosystem function and productivity, community engagement and protected areas.

  • Ecosystem and fisheries enhancement, management, protection and restocking.

  • Employment, staff training and local community integration.

  • Onsite fishery development.
