Oleta River, Florida
Coastal Systems International, Inc. developed and implemented
a design whereby the upland area was excavated from an
elevation of +3.5 feet NGVD to +1 foot NGVD, and a connecting
canal was filled with 167,000 cubic yards
of material to the same elevation for mangrove planting.
The objective of this project was to restore the 30 acres
of Oleta River wetlands to their original condition that
existed in the 1950's, prior to marina development. Historic
streams were restored and connected to existing flushing
canals to provide necessary water for nurturing the newly
restored wetlands.
