Sustainability - Sea Grass and wildlife Preservation
This site is and has always been a refuge for manatees feeding off the seagrass beds. The seagrass beds are vital nutrition for several other species such as sea turtles, Fish, Great Egret and Hermit Crabs.
The project took great care to design a seawall and docks that would accommodate the existing ecosystem and plan life to let it thrive after the house is built.
All plants that have been selected are native requiring no watering.
