About this resource

Degradation of coastal habitats has led to major declines in oyster reefs and coastal wetlands. Coastal restoration efforts are critical to restoring these habitats, but they often include little to no monitoring and evaluation of success.

Tool |

This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to do a shoreline erosion assessment using common software.

Tool |

This collection of resources provides instructions for a user-friendly, low-cost tool to estimate wave energy. It was produced by Eric Sparks' team as part of a collaborative research project to evaluate coastal restoration designs.

Factsheet |

These factsheets provide information on wetland plants that may be used for shoreline restoration projects. Each plant factsheet includes pictures, listed environmental tolerances, informational websites, and helpful tips for planting.

Tool |

This document provides a permitting overview for Florida homeowners who are interested in installing a living shoreline.

Tool |

This concise checklist provides an overview of useful information for Alabama homeowners interested in installing living shorelines.

Webinar Summary |

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the April 2019 webinar New Research to Inform Living Shoreline Design, Placement and Monitoring.

Collections |
This collection features living shorelines work completed by project teams from 2015-2019. The collection includes a detailed management brief narrative, an infographic showing different shoreline stabilization strategies and how they vary across locations in order to suit the conditions present, and a webinar recording from a panel discussion on April 11, 2019.
