EcoReefs provides full design services for marine ecological enhancement projects of any size. We provide complete design treatments based on discovery phase data gathering and site visits, and if needed, validated by numerical modeling to help ensure the final design meets both the aesthetic and functional goals of the project. Our approach to design recognizes the interaction of habitats and organisms on both small and large scales, and we utilize ecologically-appropriate materials and species to mimic the features and flows found on wild reefs. Understanding the marine setting is critical to a successful design, and we perform detailed analysis of the site's presentation to wind, tide and waves, sediment movement, water chemistry and temperature ranges, ecological factors, location of boat traffic, planned recreational uses, and many other parameters. Our final designs seek to balance these considerations within a value engineering framework to establish a high-performing marine ecosystem that has significant biological and economic value. |
