MASTIC BEACH ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION
Location: Brookhaven, NY
Client: Great Ecology
LBLA collaborated with Great Ecology and Ramboll to develop saltmarsh and floodplain restoration plans for the Managed Retreat and Ecological Restoration of Southern Mastic Beach, along the South Shore of Long Island, Suffolk County. https://setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ieam.4484
LBLA designed conceptual and schematic plans to return the 147-acre degraded site to a native coastal saltmarsh, and maritime scrub-shrub/forest habitat. The plans provide safe public access, and a buffer from future flooding for the residential community.
