A Mosaic Oyster Habitat for Coastal Defense
The goal of this project is to design a general mosaic oyster habitat design and incorporate site-specific information to apply this design to Tyndall Air Force Base Panama City, Florida to stabilize the shoreline and reduce wave attenuation. This project will also identify materials and design templates incorporating oyster reefs for application to other shorelines.
