Natural features such as beaches, marshes, and wetlands are a coastline’s first line of defense. These systems act as powerful buffers, absorbing storm energy, reducing erosion, and providing critical ecological habitats. Restoring and maintaining these natural landscapes through the strategic placement of materials is a key strategy for building effective, long-term coastal resilience.

The Dutra Group’s approach to coastal resilience combines our heavy construction expertise with a commitment to innovative, nature-based solutions. We rebuild the natural infrastructure that protects our coastlines and supports biodiversity.
