Rising tides are contributing to decreasing landmass around the globe, and due to climate change, there are now many climate refugees from island and coastal communities. Some of these islands and coastlines are being rebuilt or built up with dredging, among other techniques, with the intent to create land for displaced humans and wildlife to call home. Of course, these human-built landmasses impact the local ecology in many ways, positively and negatively, while also increasing livable space and landmass supporting biodiversity.

How can newly built landmasses that increase human and wildlife habitat and biodiversity meet these credit requirements?
