Dear <<First Name>>,

Welcome to the November edition of SIMS NEWS!
 
Living Seawalls Growing 

It's been a busy month for the Living Seawalls team with the installation of an extensive retrofit to the existing seawall at Sawmillers Reserve.   The installation complements the Volvo Living Seawalls initiative at Milsons Point launched on 30th October.

Sydney scientists have been leading the world in the study of the greening of seawalls for more than a decade, and we are excited that this research has arrived at the stage where we are now working at a real world scale.
