    The image shows a mass of dried, decomposed aquatic vegetation and root matter sitting at the water's edge of a pond or wetland area. A copper or reddish-brown pipe or tube is visibly draped across the debris mound. In the background, what appear to be ducks are resting near reeds along the far bank.

    A mother duck and her ducklings swim near the Buffalo River shoreline at the Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District’s Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Site Ellicott Site. Before the habitat restoration project began three-years ago, it was uncommon to see ducks that close to the shoreline. Measures for the restoration of aquatic habitat include the installation of in-water structure features such as locked logs and rootwads, and the planting of submerged and emergent vegetation.

    GALLERY

    A shallow, calm body of water along a natural shoreline featuring a large uprooted tree stump with exposed root system partially submerged at the water's edge. Several weathered, fallen logs rest on the bank alongside a large gray boulder, with green vegetation visible in the background. Sunlight reflects off the water surface, suggesting a clear, sunny day.

    An urban waterway shoreline undergoing ecological restoration or erosion control work, featuring large logs arranged along the bank and steel posts with wire mesh fencing extending into the water. The industrial background with silos and warehouses contrasts with the green vegetation and natural materials used in the shoreline stabilization effort. Two kayakers are visible on the water in the background.
    An industrial waterway or canal flanked by a deteriorating rocky shoreline with remnants of old dock infrastructure, including rotting wooden pilings and concrete debris. The opposite bank shows active industrial facilities including warehouses and what appears to be grain silos or industrial storage structures. The scene suggests an aging urban industrial waterfront in a state of neglect or transition.
    A deteriorating urban waterway shoreline featuring remnants of an old dock or bulkhead with wooden pilings and broken concrete slabs partially submerged in murky water. Debris-filled wire mesh structures are visible near the waterline, suggesting possible erosion control or habitat restoration efforts. In the background, two kayakers paddle on the open water under clear sunny skies.
    A waterway scene featuring a large industrial building with an ADM (Archer-Daniels-Midland) logo in the background, across a calm river or canal. In the foreground, there is a debris pile or constructed nest-like structure held between two rusty metal posts with wire mesh fencing, partially submerged at the water's edge. Yellow wildflowers and logs are visible in the immediate foreground, and a motorboat is passing in the mid-distance.
