Section of Johnson's Bayou - Bar graphs locate where each species is found in the area, what type of marsh it is, and also the salinity tolerance of each species. In order from left to right: Salt, Brackish, Intermediate, and Fresh.

Machine Movement
Because the machine can pivot, you can choose the direction that it will go.
Machine Parts
Movement along the Coast
Terrain Movement - This machine would move with the deeper cananls, while it would level the shallow ones.
Edges - The machine would create edges as it moves through the landscape. It would be creating a negative space that has been changed.

Machines for Recovery - Sections demonstrating how the machine moves across different landscapes
Machines for Recovery - Perspective of machine design
Machines for Recovery - Machine would have three different parts that travel in tandum with one another.

Diagram - I added Highway 82 and the coast line to give reference to what you're looking at
Life of Machine - The machine starts at the bottom left, working through the marsh area between the cheniers
Life of Machine - After it's worked through one area of marsh it moves to work on building dunes in the bottom left.
Life of Machine - The machine then moves to work at building up the marsh in order to become more sustainable. Also the first installment of the water filter system for residents is implemented
Life of Machine - That machine then makes a movement toward cleansing the industrial sites.
Life of Machine - The machine is then retired to begin the series of gettes that will help to build up sediment to protect the coast by acting as a buffer.
Timeline
New Master Plan - Moved residential so that more roads don't have to be built. The roads that were close to the shore were torn down and are not in the final design as they were temporary ways to move the machine.
