Shimrit Perkol-Finkel Biography

Dr. Shimrit Perkol-Finkel, a marine biologist with experience in coastal and marine infrastructure eco-engineering, is pioneering novel and sustainable methods to combat climate change and revitalize our coasts worldwide. Shimrit co-founded ECOncrete, a cutting-edge firm that uses bio-enhancing concrete solutions that are robust, cost-effective, and low-carbon to safeguard and renew our coasts and marine resources. Shimrit's intimate affinity to the water began when he was 18 years old, while diving in high school. Shimrit's job as a marine biologist allowed her to see not just the beauty of the world's coral reefs, but also their degradation owing to overfishing, climate change, and increased coastal development. This inspired Shimrit and co-founder Dr. Ido Sella to create ECOncrete in 2012 as a science-based solution to bridge the gap between the ever-increasing human ambition to develop our coasts and the urgent need to conserve our valuable natural coastal and marine resources. Science-based bio-enhancing concrete composition, enhanced surface roughness, and 3D designs are among the company's three pillars of innovation. These contribute to the structural integrity and low-carbon footprint of ports, marinas, coastal protection programs, and urban waterfront developments by having a synergistic impact of promoting marine life and benefiting the environment.
