Data underlying the publication: Using local materials for scalable marine restoration: Xiriton as a nature-enriching, low impact building material

We test a novel marine building material, Xiriton, which can be produced predominantly from locally sourced materials (e.g. saltmarsh cordgrass, sand, oyster shells) with an adjustable lifetime. As such, it may provide a novel strategy in marine ecosystem protection in which the goal is to breakdown once the protected system is self-sustaining, boosting recovery from habitat lost without leaving permanent materials in the environment.
