Habitat Creation Using Seawalls in Inner Tokyo Bay

Abstract

This paper reports on the result of a seawall construction tentatively aiming at habitat creation in inner Tokyo Bay. In this experimentation, seawalls with a tidal flat and with tide pools were designed for providing a new habitat. Some time after construction, various use of these seawalls were confirmed. These results are attributable to efficient supply of a new habitat, advance consideration of arrangement of tidal flats and tide pools on the different level.
