BIOCAP: Biodiversity Improvement by Optimizing Coastal Adaptation and Performance
 

BIOCAP is a pilot project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The project aims to enhance coastal resilience while promoting marine biodiversity through advanced 3D-printed modular systems. BIOCAP focuses on mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems by integrating robotic technologies with ecological design principles.

Project Goals

Enhance Marine Biodiversity: Design and implement solutions that promote the recruitment of marine organisms along urban seawalls.

Community Engagement: Empower residents and organizations to contribute to environmental restoration efforts actively.

Data Collection: Gather critical information on ecological performance to refine and optimize designs for broader applications.

Expected Outcomes

Development of nature-based, sustainable strategies for coastal management.

Increased awareness and local stewardship of shoreline habitats.

Comprehensive data on marine biodiversity improvements
