engineering on seawalls;
·
To foster local and international collaborations
in research and development in eco-shoreline designs among scientists,
engineers, landscape architects, environmental consultants and governmental
officers;
·
To formulate guidance and assessment criteria
for evaluation of the success and effectiveness of eco-shoreline designs; and
·
To solicit experts' advices on eco-shoreline
