Introducing the 2026 WaveMakers! Congratulations to Teri Watson on their Implementation for their project, SEED Erosion Blocks.
SEED Erosion Blocks is a research-driven installation that repurposes invasive sargassum seaweed into modular concrete blocks designed to stabilize shorelines and support coastal plant growth. Developed through interdisciplinary collaboration with engineers and marine scientists, the project combines climate-adaptive design with material science that repurposes waste as infrastructure. Each block integrates planter cavities and solar lighting, forming a scalable prototype for erosion control that doubles as public art. Installed at sites across South Florida’s beaches, SEED Erosion Blocks introduce an experimental model for sustainable coastal design rooted in art, science, and site-specific research.
at Locust Projects are made possible by lead support from the The Andy Warhol Foundation , a network of 41 partner organizations across the country.
