“It’s inspiring to see this model of coastal blue-green infrastructure and community protection now being realized in Raritan Bay.”Īs detailed in a press release, in addition to providing Tottenville with an additional layer of robust protection against climate change-exacerbated storms, Living Breakwaters, a major work of natural infrastructure informed by “hydrodynamic modeling, iterative testing, environmental review, and extensive public engagement,” will feature “reef ridges” and “reef streets” meant to foster marine biodiversity. So many people over so many years have provided valuable input,” said Kate Orff, founding principal of SCAPE in a statement.
“Living Breakwaters represents years of teamwork-research, shore walks, oyster pilots, hydrodynamic modeling and community planning meetings. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD)’s post-Sandy Rebuild by Design competition, will stretch 2,400 linear feet along Tottenville’s surge-vulnerable shoreline on Raritan Bay, a body of water within the southernmost stretches of Lower New York Bay.

31, 2022 to the U.S.Developed by a large and multidisciplinary project team led by New York- and New Orleans-based landscape architecture and urban design studio SCAPE, Living Breakwaters, when complete, will take the form of a series of near-shore breakwaters built from stone and “ecologically enhanced concrete units” that will break waves and reduce beach erosion while also providing a new habitat for oysters and other marine life. Public comments on this proposed work should be forwarded no later than Jan. The public notice with more detailed information is available for review on the District website at. USACE is soliciting comments from members of the public federal, state and local agencies American Indian Tribes and other interested parties to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity.

Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Maine Department of Environmental The proposed work is being coordinated with the U.S. The window for construction will be April 1 through Nov. The work is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2022 and is expected to take about seven months to complete. Repairs to the three breakwaters would involve a combination of recovery and resetting of existing stone and delivery and placement of new armor stone. Of the three breakwaters, two are located entirely in Maine, while the southern-most (Cedar Island to Star Island) is split by the state border with New Hampshire. The breakwaters were initially built between 18. The three breakwaters are (from south to north) Star Island to Cedar Island (800 feet long), Cedar Island to Smuttynose Island (900 feet long), and Smuttynose Island to Malaga Island (300 feet long). The breakwaters sustained significant damage during the winter storms of 20.

The purpose of the proposed work is to repair the three stone breakwaters which form the Isles of Shoals Harbor of Refuge (also known as Gosport Harbor) to their previous dimension to return full functionality of the structures. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District is proposing to perform maintenance and repair work of three breakwater structures located in the Isles of Shoals Harbor of Refuge Federal Navigation Project in Rye, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine.
