Pioneer Case
PRADO reefs
| A short description of the NBS project |
|---|
Ecological restoration by immersing diverse artificial reefs to provide shelters and habitats to marine species. The aim of the project is to diversify and regenerate marine natural resources in order to both make local fishing durable and ecological restoration. The objective of the intervention is the immersion of diverse artificial reefs to provide habitats to aquatic species. |

Stakeholder and Governance
| Who Started this initiative? | A public institution, a local organization (city or metropolitan) |
| Contracting Authority | Marseille municipality |
| Project manager (leader and main partners): entities names, and know-how involved | Leader: BRL Ingénierie Main partners: EMCC/ETPO |
| Who (else) was involved in the project ? (Inhabitants, local association, etc.) | The idea of this project had come thanks to an elected representative who wanted to integrate sustainable developpement and ecological services in the Pardo Bay. The project had been then implemented with concertation of scientists, fishermen and local representatives. Artificial reefs had been installed by an engineering society. |
