Students Learn about OysterBreak Technology at Vermilion Bay
|
Fourth-year landscape architecture students in Assistant Professor Justine Holzman's studio (LA 4001) visited Vermilion Bay to view Wayfarer Corporation's new patented technology, OysterBreak, a coastal restoration system already in place at three locations in Vermilion Bay and two locations on the Gulf of Mexico. The advanced undergraduate landscape architecture design studio is focused on landscape planning and design from regional to site scale situated within coastal Louisiana. The students are researching regional planning, coastal ecology, ecological restoration, large-scale water management and infrastructure, and the complex relationships formed between settlement and ecology over time.
