Examples of solutions
The Monaco offshore extension project
In Monaco, Bouygues Travaux Publics reclaimed six hectares of land from the sea between two protected marine nature reserves (the Larvotto marine reserve and the Spélugues trench).
A great deal of attention was paid to protecting the site’s biodiversity and to the ecological impacts generated by the worksite.
To avoid disturbance to the natural environment, 518 m2 of posidonia beds were moved to underwater planters located at the foot of the Fontvielle breakwater. Eight riprap blocks, colonised by lithophyllum byssoides algae, were also relocated.
All this vegetation is monitored regularly to ensure that it adapts well to its new surroundings..
