Popis: We considered that decreasing of the coastal area resources was due to concrete coastal structures that are unable to provide a sustainable habitat for living creatures. To overcome this problem, we have invented a new type of concrete which could suck and maintain plenty of water in it, and keeps the concrete surface under moisture condition. The current paper describes process of the invention as well as trial of the concrete applied to bank panel which may provides living spaces for crabs and eel.
