Littoral Resonance Part 1 Project 2025 Elliot Pepper University of Plymouth | UK ‘Littoral Resonance’ acts as a catalyst for marine regeneration. Located on the tidal edge of the UK’s only national marine park, the Plymouth Sound. The project functions as a facility for growth, production, research, education, and ecological reintroduction.The project addresses the twin crisis of ecological degradation and destructive industry practices, tackled through cultivation of eelgrass and bladderwrack as agents of seagrass restoration and carbon-negative construction material. Seeking to reframe Plymouth’s littoral zone as a site of innovation, repair, and stewardship, Replacing extraction with regenerative cycles. Integral to underpinning long-term success, the project also engages community, enhancing ecology and education, culminating into a symbiotic network.The project is distilled down to a protest, a demand for a cultural shift from complacency to custodianship, instructed through spatial and structural frameworks forming a manifesto. Aiming to open eyes and prevent the ongoing and unseen deterioration of marine ecologies. Passive harvesting and planned disassembly form circular systems embedding this urgency throughout the project.Tectonically expressive and materially responsible, the project prioritises reuse, carbon sequestration, and participatory processes. It is not a monument, but a living system, a regenerative framework for reconnection between people, place, and the marine ecologies on which they depend.
