Engineering With Nature® to Enhance Urban Marsh Resiliency, Biodiversity, and Habitat

Project Information

This project leverages partner collaboration and incorporates the use of EWN® principles to increase climate resiliency and enhance biodiversity and ecological function of the Belle Isle Marsh in Boston MA. The project will provide engineering, design, and permitting guidance and expertise to enhance the existing urban coastal marsh. Lessons learned from this project will be broadly applicable to other similar coastal marsh ecosystems in urban areas.
