Based on the results of the environmental resources survey, our <br />engineers developed a design for the replacement of 590 LF section of seawall <br />with the implementation of a living shoreline. The design includes three fishing <br />piers, the inclusion of a central viewing platform, and a perimeter boardwalk with <br />ADA access. Additional shade trees are provided landward of the living shoreline, <br />and a widened sidewalk to improve pedestrian circulation through the area. <br />The design aimed to safeguard upland areas against tidal flooding, enhance <br />shoreline stabilization, and bolster waterfront resiliency. The proposed living <br />shoreline solution included the installation of specialized planters to promote <br />ecological diversity, enclosed by a combination of riprap revetment and a sheet <br />pile toe wall. A proposed living shoreline solution included the installation of <br />specialized planters incorporating red and black mangroves along with coastal <br />marsh grasses that will enhance the entire project area, enclosed by a riprap <br />revetment and a sheet pile toe wall. The design features a perimeter boardwalk <br />with ADA access walkways to the boardwalk and a central fishing pier as an <br />additional amenity to connect residents with the living shorelines and the water. <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 />Mid Beach Park Seawall Replacement <br />and Living Shoreline <br />Miami Beach, Florida <br />Existing condition
