We are absolutely delighted to announce that OOBE’s work on the Millport Coastal Flood Protection Scheme has been shortlisted for the 2026 Pineapple Awards within the Climate Resilience category.

At OOBE, we believe biodiversity net gain is a step in the right direction. The principle is simple: developments should leave nature better off than before. This means making sure that new developments don’t just limit environmental harm but actively improve nature, by creating more or better-quality habitats than were there before. Embedding nature into development is essential – not just for ecology, but for the health, identity and resilience of places.
