Salt
Cay, Bahamas
Coastal Systems International, Inc. provided coastal
engineering services relative to the design of a 500 foot
breakwater to create a lagoon. It was the Owner's objective
to create a dolphin lagoon on the east side of Salt Cay
that would promote a "Swimming with the Dolphins"
facility. The project required the creation of both an
exterior and interior lagoon that connected with the existing
dolphin facility. The design minimized construction costs
by utilizing
30,000 tons of rock and 40,000 cubic yards of material
excavated from the island's interior. The design also
incorporated flushing culverts and a reduced-core elevation
to maximize water flow and quality in the lagoon.
