A “Living Shoreline” is a green infrastructure technique that uses a suite of bank stabilization and habitat restoration methods to reinforce the shoreline, minimize coastal erosion, and maintain coastal processes while protecting, restoring, enhancing, and creating a natural habitat for fish and aquatic plants and wildlife. Living shoreline projects typically utilize a variety of structural and organic materials, such as wetland plants, submerged aquatic vegetation, oyster reefs, coir fiber logs, sand fill, and stone.
