Latest completed Job: oyster bag sill and LS.
Oyster bags have become a popular solution for erosion control in low energy environments.
Like any sill, they allow for sand to be backfilled behind them to cover up undercut embankments behind them. When planted with marsh grass, the whole Living Shoreline roots down the soil, dissapates wave energy, delivers nutrients and natural habitats, and contiues to get better over time.
