Pacific Resilience Project Phase II for the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI): FP066
Project Outline
This project seeks to promote a systematic transformation of the Marshall Island's coastal management through innovative solutions in the densely populated areas of Ebeye and Majuro. The project will draw on innovative and highly technical modelling of the coastline to strengthen the environment for investment in coastal protection. It will also seek out new means for sourcing sustainable aggregates from atoll islands for use in construction, which will have wider benefits for other atoll nations.
