Covering both landside areas and waterside infrastructure, the project is introducing environmentally focused construction techniques aimed at improving long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n
A key milestone has been the installation of new pontoon systems using eco-friendly mooring blocks, or eco-moorings. Constructed by CHM using technology developed by ECOncrete, the blocks are designed to minimise environmental impact while encouraging the colonisation of marine species.<\/p>\n
Unlike conventional concrete mooring blocks, the eco-moorings feature specially engineered surface textures that promote the settlement of algae, sponges, anemones and small invertebrates. As these biological communities develop, they enhance local biodiversity and create a natural protective layer that helps reduce marine degradation of the concrete, extending the infrastructure\u2019s service life.<\/p>\n
The growth of calcifying organisms on the structures can also contribute to carbon sequestration while helping to improve water quality throughout the marina.<\/p>\n
The installation reflects a wider trend in coastal infrastructure development that combines operational performance and durability with environmental responsibility. By incorporating eco-friendly mooring systems during construction, Marina Port Valencia is reducing its environmental footprint while strengthening the relationship between marina operations and surrounding marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
