Tide pools to enhance marine life are being installed in the rock revetment at Long Curtain Moat in Portsmouth as part of the Southsea Coastal Scheme.
The 18 concrete pools are designed to create ecosystems that mimic natural rock pools found on rocky coastlines.
The pools retain water to increase the habitat diversity at all states of the tide, and the concrete material has a reduced pH to encourage colonisation by marine species.
It is expected that the marine life and flora and fauna to populate the tide pools will include seaweeds, barnacles, periwinkles and anemones.
Southsea Coastal Scheme environment enhancement lead Lucy Sheffield said the enhancements to the scheme will leave the coast better than when we started and demonstrate that this project is so much more than just a flood defence .
