Living Shorelines

West/Rhode Riverkeeper works with a number of private landowners and community groups to build living shorelines.  Living shorelines are different from conventional erosion control techniques because they stop erosion while also absorbing nutrients from the water and provide beneficial habitat.  Terrapins, shorebirds, Horseshoe crabs and fish frequently forage and nest in living shorelines.

 Living shorelines commonly consist of placing minimal stone structures in the water in front of the property and filling the area between the land and stone with coarse sand fill and marsh grasses.
