Engineering the Edge.

This is Coastal Restoration.

 

In South Louisiana, the scale of coastal loss is staggering.

 

‣ marshes disappearing,

‣ shorelines receding,

‣ communities fighting to hold their ground.

 

 

For Dr. John Foret, Ph.D., Vice President of Environmental at Fenstermaker, the work of restoration is more than theoretical—

it’s lived.

 

Over 35 years in the field, he’s seen what it takes:

 

rock, sediment, structure,

and the relentless coordination required to reconnect land and water at a regional scale.

 

‣ From shoreline protection to marsh creation,

‣ hydrologic restoration, and terracing—

 

every project carries the same goal: building systems that don’t just survive the Gulf, but thrive with it.

 

🎥 Watch Dr. Foret share his perspective on the science, scale, and strategy driving Louisiana’s coastal restoration efforts and how Fenstermaker continues to engineer resilience where it matters most.
