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. Estuaries worldwide face an alarming loss of salt marsh and oyster reef, especially along high-energy shorelines where there is significant boat wake and wave action. Living shorelines, a form of natural bank stabilization, offer coastal managers a promising approach to dampen boat wake and wave stress, mitigate erosion, and restore oysters. However, typical living shoreline designs have been largely unsuccessful under high-energy conditions. This project tested a new hybrid method that integrates engineering and ecological approaches. The project’s ”gabion-break” design uses two lines of defense to reduce erosion along the marsh edge - porous wooden breakwalls placed in front of structures that will foster oyster growth. An in-depth study monitored boat wake and wave energy, oyster reef development, and salt marsh edge movement to evaluate the effectiveness of gabion-breaks in protecting and enhancing coastal habitat in areas with high boat traffic. The project team incorporated findings into training activities for restoration practitioners and coastal managers and interpretive exhibits for reserve visitors. completed notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES > MOLLUSKS > BIVALVES > OYSTERS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOSPHERE > ECOSYSTEMS > MARINE ECOSYSTEMS > COASTAL EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE/MANAGEMENT EARTH SCIENCE > LAND SURFACE > LANDSCAPE > RECLAMATION/REVEGETATION/RESTORATION EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > COASTAL PROCESSES > MARSHES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > COASTAL PROCESSES > SHORELINES theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 bivalve boat wake erosion gabion-breaks habitat high-energy hydrodynamics intercoastal waterway living shorelines macrofauna mollusk pressure reef restoration salt marsh shellfish tide wake water level wave theme Guana Tolomato Matanzas NERR, FL place DOC/NOAA/NOS/OCM > Office of Coastal Management, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
