PWP did Sydney Harbor in Australia; the Barangaroo project.

It has an ecological reserve zone as well as programmed spaces for tourists and local visitors as a park.

I also found another studio with relevant work: http://www.scapestudio.com

Using oyster colonies to clean water: http://www.scapestudio.com/projects/oyster-tecture/

Installing breakwaters that prevent erosion upland and provide habitat: http://www.scapestudio.com/projects/living-breakwaters-competition/

These are just two. The studio has many relevant projects.

I would suggest you incorporate using reclaimed tropical timbers on the harbour walls. Not only is it ecologically desirable but it will also have a story to tell for visitors and in addition to this shows environmentally sustainable commitment.

Look at some of the Scandinavian Former Seaports (Copenhagen DK, Stockholm SE, Oslo NW, and Helsinki, FI, and others) They have been successfully working for years to clean up and re-purpose the waterfronts for non-commercial use.
