Bring Salmon Back

The Thames used to be one of the migratory areas for salmon. After the pollution of the industrial revolution, the salmon left the Thames forever. Today, the water quality of the Thames is gradually improving, but the salmon have never returned. My design hopes to reshape the topography along the Thames, buffering tidal energy through topography while regulating water velocity and improving the water environment to bring the salmon back to the Thames. At the same time, the topography shapes the landscape as a response to climate change, with the Thames as a tidal river at risk of inundation along its banks. The proposal helps to mitigate the effects of tides while creating a new flooded landscape.
