Mangrove Estuary Park

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.
