The Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District, recently implemented multiple projects to restore aquatic habitat along 2,412 linear feet of the Buffalo River’s hardened shoreline. These projects incorporated natural and nature-based design features that provided engineering functions through environmental means to create soft shoreline habitats.
“When we first started, the shoreline was just a gray, straight up-and-down, concrete- wall, void of any life,” said Josh Unghire, an ecologist with the Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District. “There wasn’t structure for organisms to forage or find refuge in.”
