Project Greenshores is the construction of about 15 acres of oyster reef, saltmarsh and seagrass along the City of Pensacola's Bayfront Parkway.� For Phase I, limestone rock placement is about half complete and is being followed with the placement of oyster shell and live oysters in the rock. The sand will need to be transferred to the saltmarsh to enhance planting success and expedite saltmarsh production and planting.
