Living Shorelines Workshop
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve 108 Island Dr., EastpointCoastal erosion is a natural process. Currents, wave action, wind, and storms constantly reshape shorelines. While seawalls might seem like permanent solutions, they often increase erosion on neighboring properties and can fail during intense storms. Living shorelines use plants and natural materials to protect shorelines, support the surrounding intertidal environment, improve water quality, and create habitats for both aquatic and terrestrial species. Understanding living shorelines and coastal-friendly landscaping practices can save homeowners frustration and money. Learn about plants that thrive in coastal environments and help stabilize your property, plus we will visit a nearby living shoreline.
