BACK CREEK AND FISHING CREEK JETTIES

Engineering with Nature + Landscape Architecture Jacksonville District (SAJ)

Work that identifies design concepts for incorporating EWN + LA approaches into US Army Corps of Engineers project infrastructure. Research directed by Rob Holmes, Assistant Professor at Auburn University and Dredge Research Collaborative (Justine Holzman, Sean Burkholder, Gena Wirth) and research assistants from Auburn University (Romina Delgado, Riffat Farjana, Jessica Nielsen, Alejandro Ramos, and Kenna Miles), Penn University, and Toronto University. The design concepts approach promises directions for the renovation, replacement, and augmentation of the case studies’ infrastructures.

This section perspective shows the primary goals with the habitat jetty, which seek to redesign coastal infrastructures composed of concrete unites to improve habitat function without compromising engineering function
