Our mission

LINEUP OCEAN is a startup based in Montpellier (Hérault, France) whose mission is to support and prepare coastal communities and their populations for Coastal Resilience.

Coastal resilience? It is the capacity of human societies to recover and adapt to the combined current and future impacts of climate change, natural hazards and anthropogenic pressures on the coasts.

To fulfill this mission, LINEUP OCEAN designs and develops innovative bio-inspired solutions, both aesthetic and sustainable, useful for the protection of goods and people, for the rehabilitation of marine ecosystems and for the development of eco-responsible activities depending on marine ecosystems and waves (diving, snorkeling, surfing, paddle, etc...)

These Nature-based solutions are totally opposed to classical coastal protection works, such as seawalls, groins, breakwaters, and other opaque embankments found on the sea fronts and which are precarious solutions to fight against coastal erosion, costly and without added value for coastal populations and marine life.

At LINEUP OCEAN, we don't fight against nature. We are inspired by it every day and we work together with it.

Our innovative solutions are permeable and reversible. They combine modularity, adaptability, aesthetics, environmental transparency and multifunctional performance to provide a set of ecosystem services with high added value for coastal communities (regulation, provisioning and social-cultural services).
