Restored estuary with a mile of public boardwalk through replanted mangroves.
A degraded municipal shoreline used as informal dumping ground, with eroding banks and almost no remaining mangrove canopy.
We removed fill, regraded the edge to a tidal slope, planted 14 acres of red and black mangrove, and lifted public access onto a low-impact boardwalk.
Within two seasons, juvenile fish counts in the estuary tripled and the city expanded the model to two adjacent shorelines.
