Advancing the <br />City’s Coastal Management Goals, including conserving wetlands, beaches, dunes, and marine habitats; <br />increasing water-dependent and publicly accessible shoreline uses; preserving traditional waterfront <br />activities; improving community resilience to hurricanes, flooding, and sea level rise; and supporting post- <br />disaster recovery, requires a team with specialized expertise in waterfront planning, coastal engineering, <br />and marine structural design. Moffatt & Nichol is ideally positioned to support the City through an <br />Environmental / Coastal Engineering Continuing Professional Services Contract, delivering integrated <br />planning, engineering, and design solutions that help achieve these long-term coastal management <br />objectives. Our team brings specialized expertise in waterfront planning, coastal engineering, marine <br />structural design, and resilient infrastructure to help the City achieve its long-term coastal management <br />and resilience objectives. <br />Our qualifications package demonstrates our extensive capabilities in managing coastal and environmental <br />projects. We take pride in our firm’s focus on waterborne infrastructure, which includes shoreline <br />armoring, beach and dune enhancements, erosion mitigation strategies, seawalls, piers, fixed and <br />floating marinas, boat ramps, and dredging. Our expertise is rooted in the essential intersection where <br />land meets water, offering innovative solutions to safeguard the City’s waterfront assets. <br />We are acutely aware of the risks posed by sea level rise and our approach integrates resilience and <br />flood risk analyses.
