Living Shorelines: Non-Structural Options for Low Energy Shorelines
Non-structural design options are most suitable in very low energy settings with minor erosion, minor wave action and good growing conditions. Target areas include the upper reaches of tidal creeks, tidal coves, and other areas protected from excessive wind and wave action.
More information can be found for each option by clicking the link.
|
Vegetation Management
Create and maintain an integrated vegetation network using
riparian buffer + upland bank + tidal marsh plants. |
|
Planted Marsh
Using wetland plants to create a new tidal marsh or enhance an existing one. |
|
Fiber Logs
Manufactured, bio-degradable logs that provide temporary erosion control and support for new wetland and bank vegetation. |
|
Bank Grading
Reduce the steepness of the bank slope.
Allows for wave run-up and improves plant growing conditions. |
|
Beach Nourishment & Dune Restoration
Add sand to an existing beach to increase width and elevation, plant dune vegetation for additional stabilization. |
