Green Infrastructure: Constructed Wetlands | asla.org
https://www.asla.org/ContentDetail.aspx?id=43537
Constructed wetlands mimic the functions of natural wetlands to capture stormwater, reduce nutrient loads, and create diverse wildlife habitat. They are often created in engineered growth media in trenches, small islands, and pools.
Slow Down: Liupanshui Minghu Wetland Park | 2014 ASLA Professional Awards
https://www.asla.org/2014awards/002.html
Through a series of regenerative design techniques, particularly measures to slow down the flow of storm-water, a channelized concrete river and a deteriorated peri-urban site have been transformed into a nationally celebrated wetland park that functions as a major part of the city-wide ecological infrastructure planned to provide multiple ...

Constructed Wetland and Regenerative Design. Through the center of the park, a linear constructed wetland, 1.7 kilometers (one mile) long and 5–30 meters (16.5–100 feet) wide was designed to create a reinvigorated waterfront as a living machine to treat contaminated water from the Huangpu River.

Crosswinds Marsh Wetland Interpretive Preserve
https://www.asla.org/2019awards/641168-Crosswinds_Marsh.html
Celebrating its 20th anniversary as one of the largest self-sustaining wetland mitigation projects in the country, Crosswinds Marsh has become a national benchmark for ecological restoration and environmental design.
The Siltcatcher: A Sediment-Capture System for Wetland Creation and ...
https://www.asla.org/2020studentawards/1267.html
The Siltcatcher is a proposal for a system of offshore structures in western Lake Pontchartrain positioned to slow water released from the nearby Bonnet Carré Spillway, causing sediment to settle and build wetlands, providing multiple benefits for nearby residents.

Jiading Park | ASLA 2020 Professional Awards
https://www.asla.org/2020awards/655.html
A 3.2 linear kilometer naturalized canal forms the backbone of the park. Here, wetlands improve water quality and support riparian habitats. Pockets of dense green cover, some inaccessible to humans, create refuge for wildlife.
West Pond: Living Shoreline | ASLA 2022 Professional Awards
https://www.asla.org/2022awards/5394.html
Data-driven research will sustain and inform this living shoreline design while also tracking the health of the neighboring maritime forest, shrubland, mudflat, and lacustrine freshwater herbaceous wetlands.

From a Concrete Bulkhead Riverbank to a Vibrant Shoreline Park—Suining ...
https://www.asla.org/2021awards/2134.html
A complex riparian wetland lagoon system, which embraces the periodical flooding cycle as a critical part of its ecological process, was set forth as the goal for the design as opposed to an ecologically meaningless "geometric line" of a concrete bulkhead.
Sensitive Structures: A Landscape Approach for Great Lakes Coasts
https://www.asla.org/2020awards/875.html
In Lakes Erie and Ontario, sediment dredged from shipping channels will be used to restore the critical habitats of sandbars and wetland areas. In Lake Michigan, the plan calls for the creation of underwater ridges that would minimize both wave impact on the dunes and visual impact on the Lake.
