South Florida Habitat Restoration

Paradelo Burgess Design Studio was responsible for pollinator-friendly, resilient native planting design and habitat restoration for this coastal dune / Florida shrub habitat surrounding an existing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission boat yard and dock in Port Everglades, FL. Restoration efforts enhanced nesting conditions for a local threatened bird species (the least tern) and provided a low-impact boardwalk for manatee observation. Design elements included rip-rap stabilization and additional salt-tolerant and drought-tolerant coastal plantings. An existing stormwater detention area was enhanced to deepen the swale depth, correct the washed-out area along the northern edge, and provide for additional bioretention through the planting of clump grasses.
