ABSTRACT
Landscape architects, teamed with forward-thinking municipalities, ecologists, marine biologists, citizens, and ecosystem engineers like oysters and salmon, imaginatively design aquaculture landscapes for resilient and biodiverse twenty-first-century cities. Theories and recognition of animals’ diverse roles in urban environments are augmented by empirical research into reciprocal relations between animal genetics, behavior, and urbanism. Resilient Aquaculture Coastlines examines designs for resilient urban waterfronts in North America that integrate fish and human communities. Post-Aquaculture Adaptations examines the adaptive reuse of former fish farms as public landscapes that are informed and enriched by legacies of aquaculture. The Quabbin Fishery design proposes an adaptation of the Swift River as a new spawning habitat intended to foster self-sustaining trout populations.
