Two fishing piers and <br />a floating kayak launch will be installed as well as ecological enhancement will be <br />achieved through the installation of mangrove planters. <br />As the project is funded by a Resilient Florida Grant, Cummins Cederberg is also <br />supporting the City with the completion of a SLIP study for the living shoreline. <br />West 40th Street Seawall Replacement <br />and Living Shoreline <br />Miami Beach, Florida <br />Existing condition
