Shorelines are a crucial part of our environment for a variety of reasons. They provide a habitat for fish and other wildlife, and they also take care of stormwater runoff before it affects our water supply. Unfortunately, erosion is a natural occurrence that can damage our shorelines. It can happen on any body of water including lakes, streams, oceans, and rivers. If erosion isn’t taken care of properly it can eventually harm our water supply, and ecosystem, and cause property loss. Let’s take a look at some techniques to manage erosion before it becomes too big of a problem.
