The scheme aims to improve understanding of the coastal and flood protection value of marine habitats and their wider role in adapting to climate change and biodiversity management.
They will test marine habitats for their coastal protection properties along the northeast coastline.
The new approaches will involve restoring sub-tidal habitats, such as kelp beds, oyster reefs and sea grass, along the north-east coastline.
