We collaborated with the Port of San Diego to retrofit coastal protection infrastructure using our bio-enhancing Coastalock armoring solutions, manufactured by local construction partners. The riprap revetment maintains structural performance and creates complex intertidal and subtidal habitats, supporting the Port’s long-term resilience and environmental strategy.
The Port of San Diego sought to integrate a coastal protection solution that combines infrastructure durability and resilience with environmental co-benefits to protect critical port assets.

We deployed a Coastalock riprap revetment that strengthens port infrastructure resilience while creating complex subtidal and intertidal habitats that support local biodiversity, in line with the Port’s environmental stewardship commitment.
