“Environmentally affable” ? There’s a new one. It’s clear you like and support this project but I’m not sure why this is a better alternative. Ocean winds eroding a shoreline sounds very much like a normal ecological process to me. I’m not sure how museum on helps recover a wetland either. What does incorporating waterholes that catch natural rainwater (Is there any other?) do for sustenance? Isn’t the water going to end up at sea level anyway? Be carful too about making grand statements about the fundamental ambition of anything, let alone landscape architecture. Critical thinking and writing must be able to support the arguments put forward by the author.
