Shoreline Protection

Shoreline protection refers to strategies and structures designed to prevent erosion, flooding, and damage to coastal areas caused by waves, storms, and rising sea levels. These measures can include natural methods like planting vegetation to stabilize soil, as well as man-made solutions such as seawalls, breakwaters, and groins. The goal is to safeguard infrastructure, preserve habitats, and maintain the natural beauty of coastlines, ensuring that they remain accessible and safe for communities and wildlife. Effective shoreline protection balances environmental considerations with the need for human activity and development.
