A great addition celebrating a Gulf Coast music legend!

Our team had the privilege of designing the pedestal and anchorage supporting the newly unveiled Jimmy Buffett bronze tribute statue outside the National Maritime Museum of the Gulf, a landmark originally designed by our sister company Watermark Design Group.

The statue welcomes visitors outside the museum's permanent exhibit celebrating Buffett's coastal roots and musical legacy. We are honored to play a part in recognizing an artist whose music and stories mean so much to our community.

Our Archaeology and Environmental team had a great time out in the field partnering with the State Archaeologists from the Alabama Historical Commission, and representatives from Mobile County, Alabama, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District at the newly acquired Duck Hill Site in Coden.

Field assessments like this are a critical step in supporting regional beneficial use and coastal marsh restoration projects. By working alongside our agency partners early in the process, we ensure that vital shoreline preservation efforts seamlessly align with the careful protection of our coast's unique cultural and environmental resources.
