Coastal
erosion is a natural process caused by currents, wave action, wind,
storms and even boat wakes. The traditional methods using to harden
the shoreline like seawalls and rip rap can often increase coastal
erosion and remove the ability of the shoreline to carry out natural
processes. The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve
(ANERR) will host a workshop on Living Shorelines on Tuesday,
December 6th, 2016, 2:00-4:30 pm. The workshop will discuss living
shorelines vs. harden shorelines, how to evaluate a shoreline by
considering the physical factors such as wave energy, prevailing wind
and wave direction, vegetation, and soil type, and present living
shoreline methods, materials, permitting, and share success stories
of local living shorelines. We will also look at types of plants to
plant and visit a local living shoreline. The lecture is free,
registration is suggested. For more information, please contact Anita
