Improving Long-Term Coastal Resiliency: A Living Shoreline Design for Chelsea Creek
ÖffentlichHerunterladbarer Inhalt
open in viewerThe City of Chelsea, Massachusetts is prone to habitual flooding due to low elevation, continued erosion, and a need for improved coastal stabilization infrastructure. In order to protect the vulnerable communities of Chelsea in a sustainable manner, the City is considering the implementation of a living shoreline along a portion of Chelsea Creek alongside the Chelsea Street Bridge. Using a site suitability matrix, comprehensive cost analysis, and review of potential environmental impacts, our team designed a living shoreline consisting of multiple features, such as switchgrass, coir logs, a salt marsh, an oyster sill, and reef balls. In addition, the team outlined an implementation strategy, which included a suggested construction plan, key maintenance concerns, and a permitting analysis.
