Living shorelines are sometimes referred to as green or soft shorelines. Unlike traditional “hard” shoreline stabilization techniques, such as concrete seawalls, living shorelines are made of natural materials such as plants, sand, rock or oyster shells.
Because they incorporate natural elements, living shorelines provide environmental benefits such as habitat for fish and wildlife. They can also become more stable over time, as the plants and roots grow.
