Join the Delaware Living Shorelines Committee for its July Webinar: Expert Panel Report on Shoreline Management Practices in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
About this Event
“Tidal shorelines in the Chesapeake Bay have been erosional over the entire geological history of the Bay. Eroding shorelines are fundamental to the environmental character of Chesapeake Bay and serve to simultaneously create, maintain, and destroy a variety of shoreline and nearshore habitats. A basic challenge of shoreline management is how to balance maintaining natural shoreline processes and habitats — fundamental to the character and health of the Chesapeake Bay — with the legal right of shoreline property owners to protect their properties from erosion.
The Panel conducted an extensive review of recent and relevant shoreline management practice research and their effect on the processing, storage, and delivery of sediments and nutrients to the Bay.” - Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Shoreline Management Projects
