By the NC Living Shoreline Steering Committee
Living shorelines are a suite of options for shoreline erosion control that maintain connections between upland, intertidal, and aquatic areas essential for water quality, ecosystem services, and habitat values. The North Carolina Living Shoreline Steering Committee brings together federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations and universities to communicate and collaborate on education and outreach, research, and implementation of living shorelines. This resource contains the accomplishments and milestones reached with living shorelines over the course of 2021.
