Understand the federal, state, and regional (NY and Bay Area) regulatory context around designing/constructing landscapes that touch the water/wetlands.
Hear the lessons learned on how to implement a successful environmental review and permitting of in-water landscapes from real experience on complete or in-construction projects.
Find out what environmental review and permitting experts think the most critical things are that you need to know as a landscape architect doing work in/on the water.
Learn strategies for adapting your waterfront design and design narrative for successful permitting and environmental review.
