Academics contribute to policy advice on nature and coastlines
Researchers from the University of Plymouth have contributed to two international policy briefings showing how Malaysia’s coastal infrastructure can not only protect humans and property but also make space for nature.
Academics from the School of Biological and Marine Sciences worked with colleagues from Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Malaya to produce new guidance around how approaches to coastal engineering can be developed in ways that benefit habitats.
They also looked at how nature can be used to not only benefit key coastal and marine habitats, but also protect coastlines, enhance fisheries, and mitigate and adapt to climate change.
