This project conducted field research at six shoreline sites in the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve in northeast Florida. At each of the six study sites, the project team installed experimental living shoreline treatments. Between November 2015 and June 2019, several physical and biological variables were routinely monitored to evaluate the performance of the living shoreline installations, including: (1) ecological response variables for the adjacent marsh (2) data about the oysters and invertebrates that colonized the new living shoreline structures, and (3) hydrodynamic measurements around the new structures.
