| Engineering Services for Project Greenshores |
| Greenshores is an award-winning habitat restoration effort that
will create emergent and submerged saltmarsh vegetation along
approximately 1 mile of urban shoreline on the northwest shore of
Pensacola Bay, FL. The primary objective was to create a highly
visible, habitat-rich, educational shoreline restoration project to
serve as a model for other disturbed areas of shoreline. EOE
provided design, permitting, and construction management services
for the offshore submerged berm breakwaters and sand saltmarshes.
The breakwaters were fabricated from recycled concrete rubble,
salvaged from buildings damaged by Hurricane Ivan, and the saltmarsh
utilized recycled sediment dredged from the Escambia River.
