Protecting Buffalo’s Harbor: The Vital Role of Breakwaters and Piers
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District repairs sections of Buffalo Harbor’s north breakwater that had been damaged over time from the harsh Lake Erie wind, wave and ice. The project is critical to ensure safe navigation within the harbor, which directly supports the Nation’s economy, while also providing an additional benefit of coastal resiliency to critical public infrastructure and shoreline that sits behind the breakwater.
