Karla Engel, Secretary of Bryant Park Neighborhood Association sent 4 aerials...here is one. She says, "Attached are fantastic aerial photos of the Living Shoreline installation in progress. It is always fun to get a bird-eye's-view of what is happening in our neck of the woods."
Project Overview • Create 575 feet of living shoreline along a barren seawall. • Construct a 125-foot wetland planter using a prototype design created by a team of biologists, engineers and artists to retain soils for intertidal plants, promote oyster growth and offer passages for fish. • Install 445 feet of riprap rock to provide oyster reef habitat and protect the shoreline. • Improve seawall protection by installing living shoreline which will attenuate waves and boat wakes. • Estimated completion in July 2015.

Just so they don't block the views and the breeze with those damned Mangroves!
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture. I love that they're setting up these islands for the baby fish. The survival of nature should come before views but that's just me.
