Nature Based Solutions in the Great Lakes – 2022 projects

Engineering & design plans for habitat restoration

In 2022, we worked on four projects

Many thanks to LimnoTech, Smith Group, GZA and Drummond-Carpenter for being our lead  contractors for this project! Here are summaries of our 2022 projects:

Niagara River Shoreline and Aquatic Habitat Restoration (NY)

Peshtigo River Streambank Stabilization & Habitat Enhancement (WI)

Lake Erie Prime Fish Spawning Habitat (PA)

Pentwater River Drowned River Mouth Habitat Restoration (MI)

Looking further out

Do you have a project in the Great Lakes for which you are looking for engineering and design assistance?  We will be conducting workshops where we will connect you with your state coastal zone management programs to develop and scope project ideas in 2024.

E-mail vbalasubramanyam@coastalstates.org to receive more information about this process! Please note that projects need to be on public property (or properties accessible to the public).
