Book Description
"This document describes selected shoreline structures in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay, and discusses the physical processes of coastal erosion which affect their performance. The information that has been collected as part of this study was used to answer some important questions about shore erosion: 1. What are examples of success and failure of erosion-control structures? 2. What geologic and hydrologic factors affect erosion and the performance of structures along the different types of Bay shoreline in Maryland? 3. Do different types of land use cause different amounts of shore erosion? This study report contains engineering evaluations of forty cases of structures which protect shoreline sites ... The report also discusses the coastal processes along the main Bay shoreline, and illustrates their relationships to the historic rates of coastal retreat in different shorefront areas. Finally, the report describes land-use patterns along substantial portions of the northern Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, and discusses how the changing patterns of land use in shorefront areas can be related to historic erosion rates."--Pp.ii-iii.

Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309103460
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.
