- Resists degradation from the marine environment.
- Absorbs some of the force of wave energy unlike many hard solutions that defmect the energy
- f wave action to surrounding areas.
- Materials life-expectancy to stabilize sediments matches the time required to establish
native plants.

- Utilizing a portion of the upper bank can create a more stable slope angle.
- Adds increased stability and storm damage prevention to the bank.
- Without this step, an investment in bioengeneering can be lost due to bank collapses.

- Installation begins at the base of the array and proceeds up bank.
- Proper anchoring strategy to hold toe protection in place.

St abilizing soi ls abo ve t o e pr o t ec t io n
- Native salt tolerant grasses are seeded into the bank prior to installation of erosion
control blankets.
- The erosion control blankets protect soils from erosion and helps to retain moisture
to promote seed germination.
