Subsequently, our engineers developed a design for <br />the replacement of 300 LF section of seawall with the implementation of a living <br />shoreline. The design aimed to safeguard upland areas against tidal flooding, <br />enhance shoreline stabilization, add environmental features, and bolster <br />waterfront resiliency. <br />The proposed living shoreline solution included the installation of specialized <br />planters incorporating red and black mangroves along with coastal marsh grasses <br />that will enhance the entire project area, enclosed by a riprap revetment and a <br />sheet pile toe wall. The design also includes enhancement of the area immediately <br />landward of the living shoreline with the addition of coastal hammock upland <br />trees and the widening of the existing sidewalk to provide better pedestrian <br />circulation. The design features a perimeter boardwalk with ADA access walkways <br />to the boardwalk and a central fishing pier as an additional amenity to connect <br />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 />Beach View Park Seawall Replacement <br />and Living Shoreline <br />Miami Beach, Florida <br />Existing condition
