Suvarna Sagara Abhiyan
Coastal fortification using the Kapu Bio-Shield Wall: a three-layer Spinifex, Pandanus, and Vetiver system replacing failing concrete sea walls
Target: 99+ km
Coastline fortification
Nature-Based Coastal Protection
Suvarna Sagara Abhiyan fortifies India's eroding coastlines with a scientifically designed bio-shield system that outperforms concrete sea walls at a fraction of the cost.
The Kapu Bio-Shield Wall
A three-layer vegetation system with deep root structures that stabilize soil, absorb wave energy, and regenerate naturally—unlike concrete walls that crack and fail.
Layer 1: Spinifex
Front-line coastal grass with extensive root networks
Layer 2: Pandanus
Mid-layer screwpine with prop roots
Layer 3: Vetiver
Deep root system for soil stabilization
