Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project Greenshores is the construction of about 15 acres of oyster reef, saltmarsh and seagrass along the City of Pensacola's Bayfront Parkway. For Phase I, limestone rock placement is about half complete and is being followed with the placement of oyster shell and live oysters in the rock.  Then sand will need to be transfered to the saltmarsh to enhance planting success and to expedite saltmarsh production and planting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Once constructed, the diverse habitat will result in noticeable increases in small fish, crabs, larger predator fish and improved water quality.
