Environmental: relating to the complex of climatic, edaphic,
and biotic factors that act upon an organism or an ecological community and
ultimately determine its form and survival
DSN&A specializes in the development and presentation of:
Striking a balance between the use of waterfront areas and the environment, DSN&A develops:
to protect and enhance the environment while allowing for more efficient use of the waterfront.
DSN&A's environment specific services include:
SALT MARSH:
DSN&A has successfully undertaken salt marsh creation and
transplant projects as well as creating subterranean bulkhead projects for shoreline interface areas, combining efficient deep water use for marinas while, at the same time, enhancing the ecosystem by creating habitat.
SHORELINE INTERFACE:
Other DSN&A projects have included the successful use of
riprap and stone seawalls to provide meaningful habitat while protecting the shoreline from erosion.
DSN&A enhances the environment by specifying meaningful construction
approaches, including the creation of desirable habitats through the use of compatible materials for the undersides of docks and in-water structures. Such practices foster the growth of fouling and other marine organisms that contribute significantly to the aquatic food chain. Other dual-use efficient approaches include the use of floats and
docks in suitable areas for the development of
aquaculture/mariculture programs, such as shellfish farms.
DSN&A believes in quality land use and stresses the importance of
understanding the
environmental site conditions prior to purchase or development of a Master
Plan and/or use programs.
