This project aims to work from the idea of the Tetra-Pot, a system in which a tetrapod supports a mangrove tree to prevent erosion, and expand it into networks of those tetrapods which now support a diverse system of microclimates. These systems are augmented by funnels of various types, and use their relationships with water to form specific climates for flying, walking, climbing, and swimming creatures. The diverse set of microclimates allow for interaction between the creatures on the bridge and the island, shoreline, and river.
