NRP has advised numerous clients that seek to restore the physical and chemical integrity of a specific aquatic resource or ecological system. NRP utilizes its full team of ecologists, hydraulic engineers, and project managers to develop a scientifically sound approach to return damaged tracts of land to a highly functional and self-sustaining aquatic ecosystem.
Marsh creation is accomplished by filling shallow open water with large volumes of hydraulically dredged and pumped sediment to precise elevations in order to restore historic marsh habitat. Wetlands in the Gulf Region, in particular the Louisiana Coastal Zone, have been lost at an alarming rate during the past century.
Streams provide a number of ecosystem services including flood control, sediment retention, wildlife habitat, and human recreation. Streams and their adjacent wetlands provide water quality benefits by filtering pollutants, regulating water temperature, and contributing to safe drinking water supplies.
