In recognition of World Oceans Day, we're reflecting on the importance of protecting and enhancing coastal and marine environments.

At Moffatt & Nichol, we work where land and water meet, from restoring fragile shoreline ecosystems to designing resilient infrastructure across ports, marinas, and waterfronts.

Our approach brings together advanced technology, a deep understanding of natural systems, and eight decades of design experience. It is a responsibility we carry with care.

On World Environment Day, it's worth recognizing the role healthy coastal ecosystems play in supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, and strengthening resilience in coastal communities.

Florida’s seagrass restoration efforts are advancing through new statewide planning and data tools designed to improve visibility, coordination, and implementation of restoration activities.

Moffatt & Nichol is supporting the development of a Florida Resilient 10-year Seagrass Restoration Plan and contributing to the development of a statewide Seagrass Restoration Tracking Map through the Seagrass Restoration Technology Development Initiative led by Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium.

The interactive map brings together more than 70 restoration projects and multiple seagrass nurseries into a single platform, showing where restoration is underway, what stage projects are in, and how efforts are being implemented across Florida.

Designed as a living inventory, the tool also allows practitioners to contribute data, strengthening the overall understanding of seagrass restoration activity and supporting more informed planning over time.

Meet our team in Baton Rouge.

For 20 years they’ve been working to deliver resilient solutions for the communities they call home.

It’s a tight knit team which thrives on bringing their passion for Baton Rouge and Louisiana to every project and improving resilience where they live and work, and where many studied.

From early careers graduates to engineers with decades of experience, they combine local knowledge with expertise in engineering, landscape architecture, urban planning, design and architecture. They design solutions that can help protect the city and surrounding area for decades to come.

As we look forward to the next 20 years, please join us in congratulating the team on this anniversary.

Charleston is planning major updates that will shape the peninsula's future for decades, from housing and zoning to resilience and mobility.

On May 18, Moffatt & Nichol's Jared Bramblett will join local planners, designers, and civic leaders at the Historic Charleston Foundation Advocacy Forum to discuss how Charleston can grow while protecting the character and livability that make the city unique. Jared will bring a flood resilience lens to the conversation, making the case that the Peninsula's future depends on understanding where water was, where it's going, and how the generational projects underway today can be designed to work with water rather than against it.

The forum is free and open to the public, and community input is encouraged. Registration is required due to limited space.

The Montebello Grade Separation project reached another milestone with substantial completion of the at-grade improvements at the South Vail Ave, South Maple Ave, and Greenwood Ave rail crossings within the City of Montebello.

While on site for the celebration, the team observed continued progress on the broader grade separation work, including installation of the majority of Cast In Drilled Hole walls and preparation of the first half of the Union Pacific Railroad bridge. The upcoming work will support a temporary shift of rail traffic onto the newly completed portion of the bridge, allowing construction to continue on the remaining half of the structure. The final transition to the new alignment is currently scheduled for October 2026.

This project represents another major grade separation effort delivered in a dense urban environment with active rail operations.

Next week, Moffatt & Nichol will be at the Society of American Military Engineers Joint Engineering Training Conference & Expo 2026 in Portland, Oregon. The event brings together military, government, and industry leaders focused on delivering the engineering and infrastructure that support mission readiness and national defense.

We’ll be connecting on coastal resilience, port and waterfront infrastructure, and how teams are addressing complex federal and defense delivery challenges.

If you’re attending, stop by Booth 734.

This week we’re in Valencia, Spain, for the Container Terminal Automation Conference.

Our team, including Christian Blauert, George Saad, Ph.D., P.E. and Bart Vermeer, are on stage and on the ground, as the sector comes together to discuss both developments and challenges for terminal operators.

They are joined by the team from our operational digital twin NextPort.AI – come by NextPort’s stand to meet both teams and chat about how we can support your needs.

It has been 20 years since we opened our office in Baton Rouge, and the team is going from strength to strength in community resilience projects.

We have a collective of engineers, landscape architects, and planners who are rooted in the city and care deeply about bringing local knowledge and perspectives to projects, alongside technical excellence.

We are also immensely lucky to be able to recruit from outstanding local universities and foster the next generation of professionals who will develop thoughtful solutions to ongoing challenges Baton Rouge and Louisiana face in community resilience.

It was great to meet with partners, clients and new contacts at Seatrade Cruise Global 2026 to discuss everything from terminal design and passenger experience to resilience and operational efficiency.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth.

Cruise ports are under more pressure than ever to do more with less space, tighter schedules, evolving passenger expectations, and growing resilience needs. That is why Seatrade Cruise Global remains such an important conversation for the industry.

Stop by booth #651 to talk with our team about what comes next for your facility. Whether you are planning a new terminal, improving passenger circulation, expanding berth capacity, or preparing for future sea level rise, we bring experience helping cruise ports move projects from planning through design and construction.
