Shore Erosion Control - The Natural Approach - Jul 15, 2005 - 3:13:50 PM
Traditionally, reduction of shoreline erosion has been accomplished by structural means, such as stone revetments or wooden bulkheads. Structural armoring may be the only solution along very exposed, high-energy shorelines or along heavy boat traffic areas. However, many shorelines along the Bay’s tributaries and protected coves can benefit from an alternative, non-structural technique.
