Seaboost: turnkey solutions for biodiversity

Specialising in the restoration of marine ecosystems, the design of pro-active coastal structures for biodiversity and the adaptation of coastlines to the effects of climate change, Seaboost is a French company whose activity in favour of biodiversity, objective number 10 of the AIVP Agenda 2030, takes place in port cities. Martin Perrot, Seaboost's Chief Operating Officer, shares with us the motivations that led the company to join the AIVP.
