Living Seawall Initiative
Over the last 200 years, more than half of the vibrant marine habitats in Sydney Harbour has been replaced with flat man-made seawalls, which support lower biodiversity and drives creatures from their natural habitats. The "Living Seawall" initiative saw Volvo partner with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science to create one of the world's largest Living Seawalls, which saw the return of 91 distinct species and has transformed the previously bare seawalls into a flourishing habitat that will help clean our oceans for decades to come.
