This year we celebrate 10 years of working in a field that we have come to know as ecological engineering or ‘ecoengineering’ for short. Next year, 2023, will herald another celebration for us as it will be 10 years since we first installed a Vertipool (artificial rock pool) on a seawall. This is going to be a big milestone for us, because it will mean our Vertipool invention is the oldest continuously functioning retro-fit artificial rock pool system, designed for seawalls, in the world…we think!
