Building Resilient Coasts with Sustainable Living Shorelines
Living shorelines are a green way to stabilize coastal areas while also improving water quality, improving storm resilience, and rebuilding coastal wildlife and plant habitats and biodiversity. Living shorelines can be comprised of natural plantings, rocks, or sand. They are less expensive to construct and maintain than bulkheads but must be carefully designed with consideration for existing conditions, waves, and current/future land use.
