Morphology

seahabilitation + project

The phrase is a nonce blend combining 'sea' with a rehabilitation concept and the head noun 'project' signals a planned effort, so a learner who recognises 'sea' and 'rehabilitation' can infer it refers to restoring marine ecosystems. However, 'seahabilitation' is non-standard and requires noticing the novel blend (and knowledge of 'rehabilitation'), so the meaning is partially but not fully predictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Seahabilitation project mixes sea and habilitation, giving the image of people helping a damaged sea get better like a sick person. So it means a project to 'restore' or 'heal' marine habitats such as coral reefs and seagrass beds.
