This Living Seawall on Palm Ave replaces an aging Miami Beach seawall with custom 3D-printed panels that match modern coastal design while upgrading protection against erosion and sea-level rise. The mangrove root design of the Living Seawall invites fish, invertebrates, and other marine life to colonize the wall, turning a necessary piece of infrastructure into a new habitat that supports cleaner water and a healthier bay.
