Rhode Island Living Reef
Charlestown RI - Spring 2023 - 6 weeks
For this project, I collaborated with Annette Gill, a research professor of ocean engineering at the University of Rhode Island, to design a living reef off the coast of Charlestown, Rhode Island. By reducing beach erosion and wave energy, this reef will protect the shoreline.
