These efforts were coupled with revitalization of public waterfront spaces, supporting the creation of public parks that also function as ecological hotspots. The mosaic of ecological restoration projects started at the Concord Point Park, where several stormwater outfalls were retrofitted with a regenerative, nature-based design, tying into a dynamic living shoreline.

This project set the stage to implement similar efforts, on a larger scale, along the Water Street waterfront where the legacy of industry defined the shoreline.

This webinar will discuss the design and construction of these projects, including challenges and lessons learned.

The webinar is part of a series from the Delaware Living Shorelines Committee.

The webinar is free, but registration is required.
